Wholesale All These Things Into Position: What Theology Can Learn from Radiohead - Paperback

by Robert Cady Saler (Author), Peter Bouteneff (Foreword by) Radiohead is simultaneously one of the most experimental and most successful rock bands on the planet. While their lyrics rarely reference religion, in this book Robert Saler argues that the discipline of Christian theology has a great deal to learn from the band when it comes to unflinching engagement with the world's brokenness and its longing for redemption. Market dynamics, the influence of capitalism on art, ecological theology, aesthetics, and Christology all come together as Saler asks what it might mean for Radiohead to "soundtrack" a theology of defiance against the forces that create death in our daily lives. Author Biography Robert Saler is Associate Dean at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, where he also serves as Research Professor of Religion and Culture and Executive Director of the Center for Pastoral Excellence. He has written widely on theology and cultural criticism. Number of Pages: 118 Dimensions: 0.28 x 8 x 5 IN Publication Date: July 19, 2019
