The shared figure of Abraham unsettles the Judeo-Christian hyphen and the politics of Europe

Evidence

From its double theologico-political source, as a doubled and redoubled source, the Abrahamic did demand another reading, another reading of the name of Abraham and Ibrahim. … The pursuit of Abraham is the pursuit of a name that works the texts and that raises while renewing it the question of the rapport of religion and politics, the question of the theologico-political. This question is the Abrahamic, which worries and unsettles the hyphen of the Judea-Christian in its positive and negative incarnations, which worries and unsettles, at least since the biblical Abraham, the being-Christian and the being-political of Europe, as well as the meaning of the words “Judaism,” “Christianity,” “Islam.” — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 334
