Theology in the Mode of Monk: Epistrophy, Volume 1

Více o knize

Engaging the theological insights of Karl Barth and James H. Cone, this study explores their distinct approaches to faith—Barth's "from above" perspective and Cone's "from below" stance against racism. The author employs Thelonious Monk's jazz aesthetics, specifically the Bebop tune "Epistrophy," to reconceptualize their contributions. This first volume delves into the historical and hermeneutical contexts of both theologians, using Monk's musical thinking to reshape and elevate their revolutionary ideas in contemporary theology.
