In today's society characterized by pluralism and transition, theology is increasingly being done in conversation with other disciplines - a process that is challenging narrow conceptions of God's work in the world. John W. de Gruchy has been at the forefront of efforts to reimagine theology as an interdisciplinary task, and this volume not only honors de Gruchy's work but uses it as a wellspring for theology in the twenty-first century. The title explores the relationship between Christian theology and a wide range of disciplines drawn from the arts, humanities, and sciences. These engaging chapters reveal the contributions that other facets of life can make to Christian thought while also upholding the vital religious grounding that theology brings to conversations about culture, politics, ethics, history, sociology, and other topics.

Longlisted for the 2022 International Gothic Association's Allan Lloyd Smith Prize Surpassing scholarly discourse surrounding the emergent secularism of the 19th century, Theology, Horror and Fiction argues that the Victorian Gothic is a genre fascinated with the immaterial. Through close readings of popular Gothic novels across the 19th century – Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights, Dracula and The Picture of Dorian Gray, among others – Jonathan Greenaway demonstrates that to understand and read Gothic novels is to be drawn into the discourses of theology. Despite the differences in time, place and context that informed the writers of these stories, the Gothic novel is irreducibly fascinated with religious and theological ideas, and this angle has been often overlooked in broader scholarly investigations into the intersections between literature and religion. Combining historical theological awareness with interventions into contemporary theology, particularly around imaginative apologetics and theology and the arts, Jonathan Greenaway offers the beginnings of a modern theology of the Gothic.
