Transgressive Devotion - Theology as Performance Art (Paperback)

Academic theology is in need of a new genre. In "Transgressive
Devotion" Natalie Wigg-Stevenson articulates a theological vision
of that genre as performance art. She argues that theology done as
performance art stops trying to describe who God is, and starts
trying to make God appear. Recognising that the act of studying
theology or practicing ministry is always a performance, where the
boundaries between what we see, feel, experience and learn are not
just blurred but potentially invisible, Wigg-Stevenson brings
together ethnographic theological fieldwork, historical and
contemporary Christian theological traditions, and performance
artworks themselves. A daring vision of theology which will
energise anybody feeling 'boxed in' by the discipline,
Transgressive Devotion blurs borders between orthodoxy, heterodoxy
and heresy to reveal how the very act of doing theology makes God
and humanity vulnerable to each other. This is theology which is a
liturgy of Divine incantation. In other words: this is theology
which is also prayer.
