This is a thoughtful and provocative exploration of the revolution that was effected by St. Paul in doctrines about Christ. Žižek then reverses the usual theological viewpoint of the tale of Adam & Eve, seeing their experience not as a Fall but as a first stage in human enlightenment, and Christ's sacrifice as the final act in that process. He claims then that we now must live & act morally as if we are in a post-Redemption stage. The book is hard going, and not for the light-hearted, but is rewarding because it makes one think.
