Theology After Deleuze

Deleuze's
relationship with theology is a complex one. Indeed, there seem to be many
possible objections to such an 'assemblage' taking place. In the first book of
its kind to engage with this seemingly problematic dialogue, Kristien Justaert
shows the ways in which Deleuze's thought can in fact advance issues in
political and liberation theology in particular, while also exploring the
important theological and spiritual aspirations contained in Deleuze's
philosophy itself, as part of his lifelong quest for the 'Absolute'.

Justaert examines the theological components in Deleuze's writings, investigating
the theological potential of four notions that circle around the central
Deleuzian concept of ‘Life': immanence, spirituality, creativity and politics. The
book goes on to connect Deleuze with both established theologies and possible
theologies for the future, identifying areas in which Deleuze can contribute to
the dynamics of contemporary theology, and argues that aspects of Deleuze's
philosophy can enable theology to become more meaningful in a globalised world.
This is the ideal introduction to Deleuzian theologies, and Deleuze's own
theology, for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students.
