Contributor(s):Author: Giorgio AgambenTranslator: Patricia DaileyIn The Time That Remains, Agamben seeks to separate the Pauline texts from the history of the Church that canonized them, thus revealing them to be the fundamental messianic texts of the West. He argues that Pauls letters are concerned not with the foundation of a new religion but rather with the messianic abolition of Jewish law. Situating Pauls texts in the context of early Jewish messianism, this book is part of a growing set of recent critiques devoted to the period when Judaism and Christianity were not yet fully distinct, placing Paul in the context of what has been called Judaeo-Christianity. Agambens philosophical exploration of the problem of messianism leads to the other major figure discussed in this book, Walter Benjamin. Advancing a claim without precedent in the vast literature on Benjamin, Agamben argues that Benjamins philosophy of history constitutes a repetition and appropriation of Pauls concept of remaining time. Through a close reading and comparison of Benjamins Theses on the Philosophy of History and the Pauline Epistles, Agamben discerns a number of striking and unrecognized parallels between the two works.
