Theology and Horror
Author: Brandon R. GrafiusPublisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1978707991
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Scholars of religion have begun to explore horror and the monstrous, not only within the confines of the biblical text or the traditions of religion, but also as they proliferate into popular culture. This exploration emerges from what has long been present in horror: an engagement with the same questions that animate religious thought – questions about the nature of the divine, humanity's place in the universe, the distribution of justice, and what it means to live a good life, among many others. Such exploration often involves a theological conversation. Theology and Horror: Explorations of the Dark Religious Imagination pursues questions regarding non-physical realities, spaces where both divinity and horror dwell. Through an exploration of theology and horror, the contributors explore how questions of spirituality, divinity, and religious structures are raised, complicated, and even sometimes answered (at least partially) by works of horror.

Abstracts of Karl Rahner's Theological Investigations 1-23
Author: Daniel T. PekarskePublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 668
Book Description
Everyone familiar with Rahner's great 23-volume Theological Investigations knows the series is hard to use because it lacks a key. The titles often fail to describe the contents of the essays accurately; there is no cumulative index in English; the existing indices at the end of each volume are tedious and failed to distinguish significant discussions of a topic from casual references; and short of wading through an entire essay there is no way to know quickly whether it contains the material one is looking for. This book attempts to address these problems.
The New Comparative Theology
Author: Francis X. Clooney, S.J.Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0567443485
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
This book is an extended, critical reflection on the state of interrelgious dialogue in its modern version. While there has been some important writing in the field of comparative theology, there has been no extended, critical reflection on the state of the discipline in its modern version, its strengths and problematic areas as it grows as a serious theological and scholarly discipline. This work of young scholars in conversation with one another, remedies this lack by, as it were, taking the discipline apart and putting it back together again. The volume seeks to understand how to learn from multiple religions in a way that is truly open to those religions on their own terms, while yet being rooted in the tradition/s that we bring to our interreligious study.

Book Description
Has the death of God paved the way for a new kind of religious project, a more responsible way to seek, sound, and love the things we call divine?
