The collection features a range of Jacques Derrida's writings on religion, exploring the interplay between faith, philosophy, and political culture. It includes analyses of religious texts from Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions, alongside discussions of influential thinkers like Kant and Levinas. Notably, it presents two previously unpublished essays by Derrida and a comprehensive introduction by Gil Anidjar, which delves into Derrida's engagement with his religious roots and the often overlooked religious aspects of societal and political contexts.
