Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Between the Canon and the Messiah
Colby Dickinson · 2013
58/100
👎 Skip It
Dickinson's engagement with Benjamin, Derrida, and Agamben through the lens of messianism and canonicity is legitimate scholarship published by Bloomsbury Academic, but the content is inaccessible outside graduate-level philosophy and theology. This is a niche monograph that belongs in a university library, not a general reader's hands.
