In the red corner of the ring is the philosopher Slavoj iek, a militant atheist who represents a critical materialist position against religious illusions. in the blue corner is the "radical Orthodox theologian" John Milbank, an influential and provocative thinker who argues that theology is the only foundation on which knowledge, politics, and ethics can stand. In this book, the reader is waiting for three rounds of fierce polemics with impressive receptions, captures and passages. By the final gong, the reader will understand that such an intellectual spectacle has not yet been in history. The debate in “The Monsterism of Christ” concerns the future of religion, secular life, and political hope in light of the monstrous event: God became man. For the first time since iek turned to theology, there is a real debate between an atheist and a theologian about the very meaning of Christ, the Church, the Holy Spirit, universality and the foundations of logic. The result goes far beyond modern atheistic or theistic theory.
