Theological thought has long been focused on the meaning to be
found in our existence, but it has tended to neglect what it might
offer to those seeking how to prolong and improve our physical
existence in this world. In conversation with twentieth-century
materialist art and thought, this book presents a radical theology
that engages directly with the political and ecological issues of
our time. The book introduces a new thinker to the theological
sphere, Russian avantgarde artist Liubov Popova (1889-1924). She
was a woman acknowledged for her artistic and intellectual talent
and yet is never discussed in relation to the twentieth-century
thinkers with whom her ideas have obvious connections. Popova's art
and thought are discussed together with thinkers like Walter
Benjamin, Donna Haraway, Gilles Deleuze and Paul Tillich, along
with ecotheological and theopolitical perspectives. Inspired by the
activist creativity of avantgarde art, the book's final chapter,
playfully yet with deadly seriousness, presents a manifesto for
radical theology today. This is a work of theological activism that
demonstrates the benefit of allowing new voices into the
conversations around art, spirituality and our planet. As such, it
will be of keen interest to academics in Theology, Religion and the
Arts and the Philosophy of Religion.
