Found Theology: History, Imagination and the Holy Spirit de Ben Quash

Found Theology: History, Imagination and the Holy Spirit

Autor Ben Quash
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 dec 2013
Found Theology is a book about how theology deals with newly-encountered (of 'found') material in time, and about the role of imagination in these encounters. The book is unusual and ground-breaking exercise in the interdisciplinary discussion of theology and the arts. Ben Quash brings together elements of doctrine, scripture, the fine arts and the experiences of everyday life. He looks closely at Christian artistic traditions via a number of case studies that represent a rich source of examples of the way that the new times properly stimulate new expressions of known and loved things. Quash engages closely with some serious and prominent American scholars, namely Peter Ochs, Daniel W. Hardy, C.S. Peirce and David H. Kelsey.

Recenzii

What perhaps makes Found Theology unique is Quash's embrace of that reality and his search for the work of the Holy Spirit within the ongoing processes of history. Quash is concerned with connecting theology to art, science, and interreligious dialogue. He is interested in a method for Christian theology that allows deep and meaningful interaction with these critical contemporary forces. As he proceeds, he opens up large vistas for the future of theology.
Frames and reframes the questions that constructive and pastoral theologians ought to be asking about the Spirit's work . I can imagine no better future for pneumatology than for it to follow Quash's lead.
Quash's monograph provides a stimulating new proposal to the broader conversation about how the dialogue between theology and the arts can proceed. It will be of particular interest to post-graduate researchers in the related fields of Christianity and the arts.
The book succeeds admirably in its ambition to be a groundbreaking exercise in the interdisciplinary discussion of theology, science and the arts. ... Fans of fresh, engaging, well-expressed and richly imagined works of theological enterprise will not be disappointed.
There is a richness and allusiveness to Quash's writing that corroborates that his first studies were in English literature rather than in, for example, philosophy or natural science. As such they are likely to succeed in provoking readers into further thought rather than definitively resolving in which direction they should next proceed.
An important book, Found Theology evinces the patience called for, and no doubt required, if we are to get beyond the given, or, taking the posture of the communicant, to receive the gift given in the found.
Quash's literary background, accompanied by his historical concern, brings a valuable perspective to proceedings . [An] inspired and inspiring work.
