Christianity can never turn its hack either on tragedy or the tragic; not if it wants to face the world squarely. The tragic all too evidently occurs and tragedy meditates upon it - raising metaphysical and theological issues in its wake. Tltis remarkable collection of essays stages imaginative dialogues between voices, characters and situations across two and half millennia of writing. And out of the conversations created, as theological and philosophical reflection engages literary studies and biography, comes a dazzling cross-fertilisation of thought and feeling. I have never encountered a collection like this. It offers original and profound deliberations on issues riddling human histories and sounding the mysterious depths of the human condition itself. Graham Ward, Professor in Contextual Theology and Ethics,University ot Manchester, UK Can notions of a final and complete redemption, so central to Christian conviction, be reconciled with the tragic vision and its acceptance of the irretrievability of certain kinds offailure? The complexities involved here arc not just theological, but also involve themes central to literature, philosophical anthropology, and the history of ideas. This excellent collection, by scholars belonging to a variety of intellectual traditions, casts a new light on this question, while eschewing the temptations of an easily gained clarity. It will certainly be a point of reference for subsequent discussions of this topic. Kenneth Surin, Professor of Literature and Professor of Religion and Critical Theory, Duke University. USA Drawing together
leading scholars from both theological and literary backgrounds, Christian Theology and Tragedy explores the rich variety ot 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 ot 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.
