- Abstract:
- François Laruelle calls this book a ‘faith experiment’ (xi) and presents the problem that led to such an experiment: ‘The war of religion continues, and there will be no Christian return of Christ. If Christianity is the religion of the exit from religions, Christ is the exit from Christianity itself’ (ix). He proceeds to apply the ‘Algebra of the Messianic Wave’ (103) to bring about a ‘transformation of theology and the production of a christo-fiction that replaces the “return of Christ” as object of belief”’ (112).
