Using many key philosophical concepts based on the work of Alain Badiou, this book outlines the relationship between an event and the emergence of a "truth", which serves as a helpful organizing principle from which to study the origins of Christianity.

We live in an age in which economic, ecological, and political crises are not the exception, but the rule. The Cold War polarities that shaped an earlier political exegesis have been replaced; increasingly, crisis is the engine of a global turbo-capitalism. Here, biblical scholars and activists describe and exemplify the shape of a biblical interpretation that takes contemporary crisis seriously. Succinct opening essays summarize the salient aspects of our critical situation; in later parts, contributions address themes of economic, political, and environmental crisis in dialogue with biblical texts.
