Features: This book boldly and positively argues the question of "Why is the Christian heritage worth fighting for?" by extensively citing films, literature, and other popular culture, employing the theoretical structures of Lacan and Hegel. It asserts that the disruptive core of the Christian heritage is so precious that it leaves nothing for fundamentalism. This book is one of the best contributions from Marx to the year 2000 of the birth of Christ, as Jesus was keenly aware that the practice of love in our world brings sword and fire. The author is Slavoj ?i?ek, a major successor of the Lacanian school, whose main contribution is to popularize Lacanian theory. He has achieved great success in academia in Europe and America and is currently sweeping through the fields of philosophy, literature, and has also influenced sociology and political science.
