Abstract
This book has explored some of the ways that the apostle Paul appears as a Jewish partisan or sectarian whose singular project alternately failed and passed away before its being simultaneously buried and beatified by a great machinery of Christianity and its pop Platonic narration of “Christian origins.” It has explained how Saint Paul becomes a crucial figure in a very different archive, one we hit upon following a path nominated as an “underground current” of a new “materialism,” and how Paulinism has emerged as a “Platonism for the masses.” It has also discussed the imagined Paulinism of Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud, the former diagnosing Western ontotheology and its obsession with Paul as its founding figure—its most effective purveyor of a Platonism for the masses.
