Infos

What if the Cross is not a comfortable symbol of faith, but the most radical rupture in human history?
In Crux, philosopher Joseph D. Kuzma turns to five of continental philosophy's most provocative thinkers--Jacques Lacan, Slavoj Žižek, Rene Girard, Alain Badiou, and Giorgio Agamben--to unveil the scandalous strangeness of Christianity's central event. Far from offering easy answers or theological comfort, these unlikely guides reveal the Cross as an unbearable disruption that shatters our categories of meaning, love, violence, truth, and power.

This is not apologetics but a philosophical confrontation with what should not make sense yet remains inescapably real. For readers willing to abandon safe distance and enter the rupture, Crux offers an encounter with the Cross that wounds before it heals, that breaks before it saves--revealing Christianity's most unsettling and transformative implications.
