Survival: A Theological-Political Genealogy

The Benjamin (Yale 1962) and Barbara Zucker Lecture Series
Adam Stern (University of Wisconsin-Madison) in discussion with Paul North

A Theological-Political Genealogy attends to survival as a notion of critical historical urgency. Beginning with the identification of “Jewish survival” as a prominent rhetorical transit-point for this discourse, it redirects the genealogy toward the theological-political history of Latin Christianity. Survival, the book argues, translates the image of Christ’s sovereign body for the modern, secular political imagination.
