“…Accordingly, while followers of a given expression might strongly disagree, none of these forms are to be seen as foundational or a paradigmatic expression of 'true' Christianity. From a scientific, secular perspective the same goes for all religions (Paden, 1996). Nonetheless, while fully recognising this allegedly infinite spectrum of local Christian expressions and experiences, we are suggesting that there is also something that characterises this particular religion as a whole.…”

“…Today, after two millennia, to pronounce Christianity in the singular is to invite incredulity, as there are countless Christianities out there (Anidjar, 2015;Kim & Kim, 2016). There are countless versions of the Bible too (Pelikan, 2005), each bearing the marks of local, cultural expressions that can vary widely from one to another (also Paden, 1996). Accordingly, while followers of a given expression might strongly disagree, none of these forms are to be seen as foundational or a paradigmatic expression of 'true' Christianity.…”

In this study, we critically examine the ongoing adoption of various posthumanist influences into the fields of marketing and consumer research from a theological perspective. By conducting a theological-historical assessment, we propose that it is not posthuman notions of human/technology relations, nor their broader context in the emerging non-representational paradigms, that mark radically new disruptions in the continuing restructuring of the disciplines of marketing and consumer research. Instead, we argue that what is taking place is an implicit adherence to a contemporary form of age-old Christian dogma. As a radical conjecture, we thus propose that an identification of certain similarities between Christian dogma and the grounds for various posthumanist frameworks suggest that posthuman thought may well herald the global dissemination of a far more elusive, authoritarian, and hegemonic system than that which posthumanists typically claim to have abandoned. Consequently, we elaborate on implications to developments in marketing thought.
