Diverse and groundbreaking essays exploring the influence of the 20th century French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan on theology and the study of religion.
This groundbreaking volume highlights the continuing relevance of Jacques Lacan (1901-1981), a French psychiatrist and psychoanalyst whose linguistic reworking of Freudian analysis radicalised both psychoanalysis and its approach to theology. The book's fi rst section, Part I: Lacan, Religion, and Others, explores the application of Lacan's thought to the development and phenomena of religion. Part II: Theology and the Other Lacan moves through the physical world and into the metaphysical, probing theological issues and ideas of today's world with curiosity and in the light of Lacan. In both parts I and II, a central place is given to Lacan's exposition of the real, thereby refl ecting the impact of his later work. Topics traverse culture, art, philosophy and politics, as well as providing critical exegesis of Lacan's most gnomic utterances on theology, including The Triumph of Religion.
Contributors include some of the most renowned readers and influential academics in their respective fields: Tina Beattie, Lorenzo Chiesa, Clayton Crockett, Creston Davis, Adrian Johnston, Katerina Kolozova, Thomas Lynch, Marcus Pound, Carl Raschke, Kenneth Reinhard, Mario D'Amato, Noëlle Vahanian and Slavoj Zizek.

...Theology after Lacan promises to be a rewarding read for scholars interested in the implications of psychoanalytic thought for theology and vice versa.
— William E. Smith III
This book exemplifies the vibrant interdisciplinary discussion taking place between theology and Lacanian psychoanalysis, a fascinating intersection between two apparently unlikely bedfellows.
