The Monstrosity of Christ *Paradox or Dialectic?* Slavoj Žižek <http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/author/default.asp?aid=4362> and John Milbank <http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/author/default.asp?aid=36313> Edited by Creston Davis <http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/author/default.asp?aid=36314>

/What matters is not so much that Žižek is endorsing a demythologized, disenchanted Christianity without transcendence, as that he is offering in the end (despite what he sometimes claims) a heterodox version of Christian belief./ —*John Milbank*

/To put it even more bluntly, my claim is that it is Milbank who is effectively guilty of heterodoxy, ultimately of a regression to paganism: in my atheism, I am more Christian than Milbank./ —*Slavoj Žižek
