Tragedy is a genre for exploring loss and suffering, and this book
traces the vital areas where tragedy has shaped and been a resource
for Christian theology. There is a history to the relationship of
theology and tragedy; tragic literature has explored areas of
theological interest, and is present in the Bible and ongoing
theological concerns. Christian theology has a long history of
using what is at hand, and the genre of tragedy is no different.
What are the merits and challenges of placing the central narrative
of the passion, death and resurrection of Christ in tragic terms?
This study examines important and shared concerns of theology and
tragedy: sacrifice and war, rationality and order, historical
contingency, blindness, guilt, and self-awareness. Theologians such
as Reinhold Niebuhr, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Martin Luther King
Jr., Simone Weil, and Boethius have explored tragedy as a
theological resource. The historical relationship of theology and
tragedy reveals that neither is monolithic, and both remain diverse
and unstable areas of human thought. This fascinating book will be
of keen interest to theologians, as well as scholars in the fields
of literary studies and tragic theory.
