In late modernity theology has to perform an aesthetic turn, if it
wants to break out of its current isolation. Theologians cannot
limit themselves to biblical texts and Christian tradition as a
frame of reference but also have to search for traces of God's
presence in cultures and religions. God/Terror addresses the quest
for God in the context of oppression, violence and terror from an
aesthetic perspective. It looks at how artists and writers approach
the relationship between God and Terror. Statements such as that
from composer Karl Heinz Stockhausen: "9/11 was the greatest work
of art ever" or from South African writer Adam Small: "Only
literature can perform the miracle of reconciliation" - are
occasions to reflect again about the relationship between ethics
and aesthetics, theology and the arts. As in a medieval diptych,
the theme is mirroring god talk in memory of 9/11 and in the
context of political conflicts in Germany, South Korea and South
Africa. First published in German as Gott - Terror: ein Diptychon
by Kohlhammer.
