Book, Suffering of God, The: Inversions of the Apocalypse[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. God's suffering: Inversions of the Apocalypse is a brilliant analysis and reconstruction of the three major belief systems of today. A debate between Slavoj Žižek, one of the world's most articulate intellectuals, and Croatian philosopher Boris Gunjevi?, radical theologian. In six chapters that describe Christianity, Islam, and Judaism using the tools of Hegelian and Lacanian analysis, the book shows how each religious system understands humanity and divinity, and how the differences between them can be much stranger than they first appear.. The debaters offer us a critical investigation, not a religious text. With infectious dedication and a genius for making unlikely connections, Žižek challenges supposed Western atheism and contemplates the disconcerting idea of an Almighty who both suffers and prays.. Building on Žižek's tricks and introducing others, Gunjevi? makes the revolutionary call for a theology that weakens the cunning “enslavement of desire” of the capitalist world. With striking examples and sharp logic, Žižek and Gunjevi? They evoke thinkers ranging from Augustine to Lacan, and discussions that include the duality between Christian and pagan ethics, the “class struggle” implied in the reading of the Quran, and the role of gender in Islam.. Together, they confirm and analyze faith in the 20th century, shaking the foundations of Abrahamic traditions.
