Description
About the Book
This book explores a "theopoetics" of multiplicity, how it contributes to scholarship on the edge of theology, philosophy, literature, and sociology, how it questions the establishment of the difference between philosophy and theology and resides in the dangerous realm of relativism, but might also heal the desperateness of orthodox persecution.Book Synopsis
In complex philosophical ways, theology is, should, and can be a "theopoetics" of multiplicity. The ambivalent term theopoetics is associated with poetry and aesthetic theory; theology and literature; and repressed literary qualities, myths, and metaphorical theologies. On a more profound basis, it questions the establishment of the difference between philosophy and theology and resides in the dangerous realm of relativism. The chapters in this book explore how the term theopoetics contributes to cutting-edge work in theology, philosophy, literature, and sociology.Review Quotes
"Theopoetic Folds is a great contribution and indication that the most creative work in theology is taking place where process and postmodern ideas intersect."-----Clayton Crockett, University of Central Arkansas
