Event description: 

The Benjamin (Yale 1962) and Barbara Zucker Lecture Series
Adam Stern in conversation with Paul North about Survival, A Theological-Political Genealogy
A Theological-Political Genealogy attends to survival as a notion of critical historical urgency. Beginning with the identification of “Jewish survival” as a prominent rhetorical transit-point for this discourse, it redirects the genealogy toward the theological-political history of Latin Christianity. Survival, the book argues, translates the image of Christ’s sovereign body for the modern, secular political imagination.
