Synopsis
How do we put into words our encounters with the divine mystery? Theopoetics seeks to express the inexpressible, recovering the language of the faith traditions through songs, prayers, stories, and liturgies. The book contains a range of genres exploring this new field, from deeply personal to analytical and academic. Included are the following topics:
- Theopoetics as an academic discipline
- Ecological theology and human responsibility
- Poems and free verse reflections
- Plays for theater and public performance
- Interpretations of the parables of Jesus
- Spirituality and ecology in the poetry of Wendell Berry
- Memories of 1968 as a case study in public theology
- Personal spiritual formation
- Essays on theology in the works of Octavia Butler
- Short stories and autobiographical writings
The collection of essays, poems, plays, journal entries, and research papers were part of Rogers’s work for the Master of Arts degree in Theopoetics and Writing at Bethany Theological Seminary and Earlham School of Religion in Richmond, Indiana.
