Section: Philosophy/Rhetoric/Logic

Why should a Christian study the thought of Gilles Deleuze? The French philosopher gives us a sophisticated account of what happens to truth and ethics in a system that does not rely on God as traditionally understood. Moreover, his thought profoundly influences and makes visible how our society understands everything from knowledge and truth to sexuality and identity. Christopher Watkin, a scholar of French literature and philosophy, lucidly and succinctly presents Deleuze’s work in a way that is accessible to non-philosophers and brings his writing into sustained conversation with prominent biblical themes and motifs from Reformed theology.
