Description



About the Book



"This book is an exploration of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's appeal to musical metaphors which correspond to a pneumatology, one which has been largely overlooked"--



Book Synopsis



This book re-examines how Bonhoeffer employs musical patterns of thought and language to a theological end. It outlines how the significance of Bonhoeffer's musico-theology has not been sufficiently recognised, and sets the stage for a rigorous re-examination. It becomes clear that through the lens of his musical metaphor of polyphony, Bonhoeffer demonstrates how his account of Christian formation contains a latent pneumatology.

Tarassenko demonstrates that incorporation of this pneumatology is key in deepening one's understanding of Bonhoeffer. It allows the relationship between Christology and Christian formation in Bonhoeffer's thought to become fully realised. The appeal to polyphony articulates this pneumatology, as an indirect but nevertheless exceedingly successful means of contouring an account of the Spirit's work.



Review Quotes




"The Spirit of Polyphony not only provides a penetrating exposition of musical metaphors in Bonhoeffer's thought, but also deploys these insights in developing a constructive pneumatology for the church today. In clear and fluid prose, Tarassenko draws on the full range of Bonhoeffer's corpus to provide a compelling model for how through the Spirit divinity and humanity work together in Christ, the believer, and the church as a whole." --Ian A. McFarland, Emory University, USA

"In The Spirit of Polyphony, Tarassenko has done a remarkable job, and on two fronts. First, she demonstrates that far from being a peripheral matter for Bonhoeffer, music was critically important in shaping his theological mind. Second, she has shown that a study of this dimension of Bonhoeffer's work yields nothing less than the outline of a fresh and compelling pneumatology for today. This is constructive theology at the highest level." --Jeremy Begbie, Duke University, USA
