Philosophy

A brilliant dissection and reconstruction of the three major faith-based systems of belief in the world today - Christianity, Judaism and Islam - by one of the world's most articulate philosophers, Slavoj Zizek, in conversation with fellow Slovenian philosopher and priest Boris Gunjevic. God in Pain shows how each faith understands humanity and divinity - and how the differences between the faiths may be far stranger than they may at first seem.

Reviews for God in Pain: Inversions of Apocalypse

Zizek has only to clap eyes on a received truth to feel the intolerable itch to deface it ... Zizek is that rare breed of writer - one who is both lucid and esoteric. If he is sometimes hard to understand, it is because of the intricacy of his ideas, not because of a self-preening style. -Terry Eagleton The most dangerous philosopher in the West. -Adam Kirsch, New Review
