This book offers deconstructive readings of classical texts from the Christian tradition. Working within a Heideggerian model of the “end of metaphysics,” David Odell-Scott offers readings that radically alter the conventional understanding of the Chalcedonian Creed and of portions of I and II Corinthians. His deconstruction of metaphysical theology both clarifies the logical impasse of the incarnation expressed in the Creed and sets Pauline thought against not only metaphysical thought but monotheism and a patriarchal church as well.
