Christopher-
It is almost impossible to offend me. Say something bad about my family that isn't true, or something vaguely racist and you'll probably do it. But you're free to poke fun at Derrida all you want!
No, I don't think his book is intended to be humorous. And I wouldn't call it non-sensical, but very, very difficult. Maybe my explanation isn't very good. I guess, let's try this:
We talk about Jesus as a victorious king. Think of everything that entails - really get a good image (concept) in your head of what a victorious king is.
Got it? Ok. Now, we can also talk about Jesus as a humble servant. Can a victorious king be a humble servant? Do the two images (concepts) mesh very well? I wouldn't think so. Is that because Jesus is not a victorious king and a humble servant, or is that because of a problem in language?
Does that make any more sense?
I'll try to comment more on your 'Ecclesiology' post later.
