The Forgetting of Christianity
Abstract
What is Christianity? What is its sense? Is it a religion, a religion like all other religions? In joining a chorus of European philosophers who have returned to Paul or to Christianity, Jean-Luc Nancy retains the Latin word “religion” as the uninterrogated marker of Christianity and other “world religions.” Religion is thus the site of an ambiguous “sharing,” of which Christianity partakes perhaps more than others — but within which limits? Besides its deconstruction, has there been a critique of Christianity?
