Badiou and the Reconstruction of the Concept of God
Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract In this article I first summarize Badiou's and Žižek's critique of the concept of God, which I and other interpreters conceive as a radicalization of the theology of the death of God.

Heavy‐duty conceptual engineering
