This highly original interpretation of Paul by the Jewish philosopher of religion Jacob Taubes was presented in a number of lectures held in Heidelberg toward the end of his life, and was regarded by him as his spiritual testament. Taubes engages with classic Paul commentators, including Karl Barth, but also situates the Pauline text in the context of Freud, Nietzsche, Benjamin, Adorno, Scholem, and Rosenzweig. In his distinctive argument for the apocalypticrevolutionary potential of Romans, Taubes also takes issue with the political theology advanced by the conservative Catholic jurist Carl Schmitt. Taubess reading has been crucial for a number of interpretations of political theology and of Paulincluding those of Jan Assmann and Giorgio Agambenand it belongs to a wave of fresh considerations of Pauls legacy (Boyarin, Lyotard, Badiou, Zzk). Finally, Taubess farranging lectures provide important insights into the singular experiences and views of this unconventional Jewish intellectual living in postHolocaust Germany.
