I thought it would be good of course.

Nobody likes every album they hear. Why do you expect this to be true with books?


Oh by the way I saw you at the movies... it was weird.

An overview? Fuck. Zizek basically re-reads Christianity as a Hegelian and makes it a whole lot less appealing (read: more nihilistic) but at the same time more comprehensible (for me, at least). Milbank counters Zizek's dialectical interpretation of God (a God who is alienated from himself) with a God who exceeds himself, who is not only love but is more love than he is, and this excess love forms "the universe." Then Zizek calls Milbank a pagan and develops his "atheistic Christianity" some more. It's an atheism vs theism debate that looks nothing like the ones Dawkins & co are waging, because it actually takes into account post-modernism and the problematic status of "reason" and "truth." Dense as fuck and probably requires some understanding of Hegel (and Lacan), but invaluable as far as I'm concerned.
