This volume 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, the book has seven chapters focusing on: the modes in
which Cave engages with the Bible; the total depravity of the
worlds invoked in his novels and other written work; the consistent
invocation of apocalyptic themes; his restoration of death as a
valid dimension of life; the twists of the love song; the role of a
sensual and heretical Christ; and then a detailed, dialectical
analysis of his musical forms. The 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, who is the methodological foundation stone, as well as
Theodor Adorno, Theodore Gracyk and Jacques Attali.
