Giorgio Agamben is a contemporary Italian philosopher and political theorist whose works have been translated into numerous languages. His most recent title with Stanford University Press is The Fire and the Tale (2017).
"[I]f you are hoping to be challenged with a sophisticated and
articulate reflection on the relationship between the mystery of
evil, its deeper eschatological context, and its consequences on
both life in the public human polis and the intimate chambers of
the human heart, this slender text will be a splendid addition to
your bookshelves, without causing them to sag too
considerably."—Michael M. Canaris, Reading Religion
"The Mystery of Evil contains two short texts by Agamben, followed
by a twenty-five page containing mainly patristic texts....[It] is
a slight but not insubstantial book."—D.L. Dsenbury, Times Literary
Supplement
"[With] The Mystery of Evil: Benedict XVI and the End of DaysGiorgo
Agamben continually marks himself as the leading [a]theistic
political theologians writing today as well as one of—if not the
most—fascinating Continental dialogue partners with Christianity
within the Continental tradition....The text itself is short (39
pages), yet, its controversially brilliant theme cannot be ignored
by serious thinkers (Christian and non-Christian alike."—Philip
Gonzales, Louvain Studies
