Contents:
At play in the theodrama of the Lord : the Triune God of the Gospel / Kevin J. Vanhoozer -- Beyond theatre and incarnation / Trevor Hart -- The intractable sense of an ending : Gethsemane's prayer on the tragic stage / Ivan Patricio Khovacs -- Raising a tempest / Brookian theatre as an analogy for providence / Timothy Gorringe -- In praise of empty churches / Shannon Craigo-Snell -- Play it again : Kierkegaard's Repetition as philosophy and drama / George Pattison -- The play of Christian life : when wisdom calls to wisdom / Jim Fodor -- Doing God's story : theatre, Christian initiation, and being human together / Todd E. Johnson -- And that's true too : revelation, drama, and the shape of Christian ethics / David Cunningham -- Eucharistic drama : rehearsal for a revolution / Marilyn McCord Adams -- Holy theatre : enfleshing the word / Richard Carter and Samuel Wells -- The church as a theatre of the oppressed : the promise of transformational theatre for a youth-led urban revolution / Peter Goodwin Heltzel -- Theatre as a source of religious insight and revelation / David Brown.
Summary: Theology is inherently theatrical, rooted in God's performance on the world stage and oriented toward faith seeking performative understanding in the theatre of everyday life. Following Hans Urs von Balthasar's magisterial, five-volume Theo-Drama, a growing number of theologians and pastors have been engaging more widely with theatre and drama, producing what has been recognized as a ""theatrical turn"" in theology. This volume includes thirteen essays from theologians and pastors who have contributed in distinct ways to this theatrical turn and who desire to deepen interdisciplinary dialogue
