Description

Drawing together leading scholars from both theological and literary backgrounds, Christian Theology and Tragedy explores the rich variety of conversations between theology and tragedy.

Three main areas are examined: theological readings of a range of tragic literature, from plays to novels and the Bible itself; how theologians have explored tragedy theologically; and how theology can interact with various tragic theories. Encompassing a range of perspectives and topics, this book demonstrates how theologians can make productive use of the work of tragedians, tragic theorists and tragic philosophers.

Common misconceptions - that tragedy is monolithic, easily definable, or gives straightforward answers to theodicy - are also addressed.

Interdisciplinary in nature, this book will appeal to both the theological and literary fields.
