This study analyses the work of Nick Cave, a singular,
idiosyncratic and brilliant musician, specifically through his
engagements with theology and the Bible. It does so not merely in
terms of his written work - the novels and plays and poetry and
lyrics that he continues to produce - but also the music itself.
Covering more than three decades of extraordinarily diverse
creativity, this book explores such themes as the depravity of the
worlds invoked in Cave's novels and other written work, the
consistent invocation of apocalyptic, his restoration of death as a
valid dimension of life, the twists of the love song, and the role
of a sensual and heretical Christ. This book draws upon a select
number of theorists who provide the methodological possibilities of
digging deep into the theological nature of Cave's work, namely
Ernst Bloch, the methodological foundation stone, as well as
Theodor Adorno, Theodore Gracyk and Jacques Attali.
