Reviews

"While there are a number of studies of Derrida's extensive texts on religion, and several studies of deconstructive politics, I know of no book-length account of the interaction between religion and politics. Given the excellence of Cassatella's understanding of Derrida, and the power of the book's overall argument, Beyond the Secular makes an enormous contribution to the fields of religion, theology, political theory, and philosophy." — Matthias Fritsch, author of The Promise of Memory: History and Politics in Marx, Benjamin, and Derrida
