Poetic Theology : God And The Poetics Of Everyday Life

Reveals the presence of God in the creative works of human life and culture

William Dyrness argues that the creative impulses of contemporary people to make something lovely of their lives and communities can best be understood as God’s presence and calling in and through the good creation. Creative projects of all sorts, he says, reveal a longing for joy and delight and a deep desire for connection with others, the created order, and, especially, the Creator.

With extensive reflection on aesthetics in spirituality, worship, and community development, this book will be eminently useful for all those seeking to open new avenues for communicating the gospel in contemporary society.
