David Brown explores the ways in which the symbolic associations of
the body and what we do with it have helped shape religious
experience and continue to do so. A Church narrowly focused on
Christ's body wracked in pain needs to be reminded that the body as
beautiful and sexual has also played a crucial role not only in
other religions but also in the history of Christianity itself.
Dance was one way in which the connection was expressed. The irony
is not that such a connection has gone but that it now exists
almost wholly outside the Church. Much the same could be said about
music more generally, and Brown writes excitingly about the
spiritual potential of not just classical music but also pop, jazz,
musicals, and opera. Like Brown's much-praised earlier volumes, God
and Enchantment of Place, Tradition and Imagination, and
Discipleship and Imagination, the present book will enlarge
horizons and challenge the narrowness of much theological thinking.
