Chapter 1Introduction Gabriel Vahanian: From the Death of God to Wording and Worlding

Vahanian, Gabriel

Pages: 1 –24

[To understand and engage with the theology of Gabriel Vahanian we should begin by considering the four quotes that sit as signposts at the start of The Death of God, the book that brought him to international acclaim. They are worth reproducing (in fact it is necessary to reproduce them as a...

Chapter 2Wording the World and Worlding the Word

Vahanian, Gabriel

Pages: 25 –34

[Polytheistic, monotheistic, or pantheistic, no system, including theism as well as atheism, ever dawns on the human imagination, that does not bear the seed of its own subversion. It makes no difference if one is Greek or Jew, for remember Socrates and Jesus were equally charged with atheism as...

Chapter 3The Kenotic Utopianism of Language

Vahanian, Gabriel

Pages: 35 –52

[Voice is a way of being, argues Giorgio Agamben, 1 as though the statement could not be reversed: being is a way of speaking. And yet it is the same author who, like Lacan, also points out that “the appearance of a new religion always coincides with a new revelation of language and a new...

Vahanian, Gabriel

Pages: 87 –101

[Slowly, ineluctably, wider and wider, the gap is decisively yawning between the traditional religions of religion and today’s religion of religions, between yesterday’s and tomorrow’s paradigm of religiosity. A specimen of the latter is in fact what Michael Crichton is advocating in an address...

Chapter 6No Christ, No Jesus

Vahanian, Gabriel

Pages: 103 –110

[Two books and a film: released at about the same time and, by now, possibly forgotten, given that beyond their subject matter what is striking about them is of course their respective titles, each of them pregnant with a specific grasp of the real—from literal and factual to symbolic and...

Chapter 7Christ beyond Christ

Vahanian, Gabriel

Pages: 111 –126

[If language involves wording the world, worlding the word and their mutual reciprocation, then language is what, even while vouching the human being for being human, betokens it to that which precisely, at the other extreme of the spectrum, it is not, the divine.]

Chapter 8Language & Co: The Conditioning of God, a Foray

Vahanian, Gabriel

Pages: 127 –145

[Despite Babel and the confusion of tongues, despite even Pentecost and all the speaking in tongues, “the heavens declare the glory of God; / the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; / night after night they display knowledge.” To which, while expectably an...
