Seditious Theology explores the much analysed British punk movement
of the 1970s from a theological perspective. Imaginatively engaging
with subjects such as subversion, deconstruction, confrontation and
sedition, this book highlights the stark contrasts between the punk
genre and the ministry of Jesus while revealing surprising
similarities and, in so doing, demonstrates how we may look at both
subjects in fresh and unusual ways. Johnson looks at both punk and
Jesus and their challenges to symbols, gestures of revolt,
constructive use of conflict and the shattering of relational
norms. He then points to the seditious pattern in Jesus' life and
the way it can be discerned in some recent trends in theology. The
imaginative images that he creates provide a challenging image of
Jesus and of those who have relooked radically in recent years at
what being a 'seditious' follower of Christ means for the church.
Introducing both a new partner for theological conversation and a
fresh way of how to go about the task, this book presents a
powerful approach to exploring the life of Christ and a new way of
engaging with both recent theological trends and the more
challenging expressions of popular culture.
