ABSTRACT
The topic of Gilles Deleuze and Religion might appear to be a perverse one. After all, Deleuze’s writing recurrently demonstrates a commitment to the unhinging of philosophy from its complex historical affiliations with theology, so as to release it into a zone of dynamism, affirmation and becoming (see Philip Goodchild’s essay in this volume). Is it a retrograde act, even an act of violence, to bring his oeuvre into proximity with the discourse of religion?
