Scholars from the UK, US, France, and Australia explore the religious dimensions and implications of the writings of Gilles Deleuze. His philosophy is commonly characterized as materialist and aesthetic; these essays illustrate the ways Deleuzian thought is antithetical to religious debate, as well as the ways it contributes to such debate. Deleuze's writing is set in the context of a spectrum of textual material, including patristics, mysticism, dogmatic theology, hermeneutics, literature, and modern critical theory. Of interest to researchers and academics in theology, philosophy, critical theory, cultural studies, and literary criticism, and to students of French reading Deleuze's work in its original language.
