Absolute submission is an unacknowledged center of modern Paul reception

Evidence

Subjectivity and subjection, agency and submission, cannot, therefore, be understood apart from each other. Yet the question emerges: Is there a history of absolute subjection, an account of absolute submission? In what follows, I want to argue that a reflection on submission and on absolute subjection-a constellation that indudes, in ways yet to be clarified, subjectivity and subjection, passivity and submission-constitute an essential, if insufficiently acknowledged moment of the renewed reception of Paul. — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 118
