Synopsis

Walk the Line is a resource for music fans to engage their favorite artists and songs with theological sophistication. Intended for theology students at the undergraduate level and up, Walk the Line is different from the many books which try to use rock music to get people into religion. Instead, it uses religious insights to help readers think critically and creatively rock music. “A compelling and fascinating study.” Jeannie Gaffigan, television and comedy writer, co-host of U.S. Catholic’s Field Hospital Podcast. “[A] needed and refreshing gift…” Elizabeth Scalia, Culture Editor at Our Sunday Visitor (from the Foreword)

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

“Walk the Line explores an ambitious and underexplored highway leading us often to astonishing routes in the journey to God. These top-notch theologians lend their vast experience by interrogating the wonderful bridge that joins rock music and its spiritual undercurrents. Fr. Christian has gathered an eclectic collection which maps connections as fascinating as Dylan and the Donatists one the one hand and Leonard Cohen and pneumatology on the other. These essays would make a fine textbook and deserve a wide readership for anyone interested in the cultural space which inhabits theological inquiry.” Fr. Guerric DeBona, Professor of Homiletics at Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology, Co-Author of Savior on the Silver Screen

“To interpret art is always a vulnerable and risky business. To do so theologically can be a wild and wonderful ride, as this collection powerfully demonstrates. Walk the Line gives us a significant, at times daring, contribution to the burgeoning study of art at the boundaries of faith. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!” Christopher Pramuk, University Chair of Ignatian Thought and Imagination at Regis University, Author of The Artist Alive: Explorations in Music, Art, and Theology
