There aren't many serious works of systematic theology which engage
with Breaking Bad, The Big Bang Theory, Crazy Heart, theories of
capital and positive psychology, as well as the Isenheim Altarpiece
and Handel's Messiah. This lively, contemporary study of salvation
does precisely that. Christian doctrine cannot simply repeat what
has gone before, even as it recognises the value and richness of
the traditions Christianity carries with it. Clive Marsh
acknowledges this in exploring how doctrine interweaves with life
experience and cultural consumption. A Cultural Theology of
Salvation considers how salvation is to be understood and
articulated now, when the theme of 'redemption' appears outside of
Christianity in the arts and popular culture. Marsh also assesses
whether contemporary interest in 'happiness' has anything to do
with salvation. The first part of the book sets the enquiry in the
context of how theology operates as a discipline, and the cultural
climate in which theology has to be done. The second part offers a
number of case-studies (in art, music, TV, film, positive
psychology, and economic life) exploring how the concerns of a
doctrine of salvation are addressed directly and indirectly in
Western culture. The third part distils the results of the
case-studies in formulating a contemporary exposition of salvation,
and concludes by showing what this means in practice.
