Entertainment Theology PDF

|God has become one of |Time|magazine's favorite cover boys and spirituality has become a fashion accessory,| writes Barry Taylor. |Entertainment Theology| exhorts Christians to embrace new vehicles to communicate gospel truth--or face extinction. |In the hands of a musician, poet, and artist, theology is not delivered prepackaged and labeled but is, rather, God-talk that is creative and evocative. Barry Taylor leads us out of our studies and our pews to do our theology in the street, in response to the media bombardment and the many voices and images around us. Great entertainment stimulates our imagination and invites our participation, and Taylor does both. |Entertainment Theology| is not the last word, but a work in progress.|--Eddie Gibbs, Fuller Theological Seminary |Barry Taylor has a remarkable ability to bring together perspectives on contemporary culture that other commentators often miss. His wide-ranging understanding of both culture and practical theology come together in a conversation that is accessible as well as provocative. No serious scholar can afford to ignore Taylor's insights on the interaction of culture and spirituality.|--John Drane, author, |The McDonaldization of the Church| |A powerful and provocative summons to renewed attentiveness to the strange new world rising up around us. Against the tendency to defensively dismiss emerging spiritualities as either uselessly nebulous or somehow demeaning to religious tradition, Taylor articulates the more excellent way of critical affirmation, celebrating what he sees as a democratization of spirit and a shift toward a more globally minded, yet communal, conversation about the meaning of God. |Entertainment Theology| is the place where |Donnie Darko,| Buddhism, the Lorax, Tom Waits, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights interface. It announces the end of the tired, old world where these conversations were thought to be beyond the pale and challenges us to see the postmodern world (on the way and already here) as an ever-emerging opportunity for redemptive and redeeming reassessment. Intensely recommended.|--David Dark, author, |Everyday Apocalypse|
