This introductory textbook establishes theatrical improvisation as
a model for Christian ethics, helping Christians embody their faith
in the practices of discipleship. Clearly, accessibly, and
creatively written, it has been well received as a text for courses
in Christian ethics. The repackaged edition has updated language
and recent relevant resources, and it includes a new afterword by
Wesley Vander Lugt and Benjamin D. Wayman that explores the
reception and ongoing significance of the text.
Living Theodrama is a fresh, creative introduction to theological
ethics. Offering an imaginative approach through dialogue with
theatrical theory and practice, Vander Lugt demonstrates a new way
to integrate actor-oriented and action-oriented approaches to
Christian ethics within a comprehensive theodramatic model. This
model affirms that life is a drama performed in the company of God
and others, providing rich metaphors for relating theology to
everyday formation and performance in this drama. Different
chapters explore the role of the triune God, Scripture, tradition,
the church, mission, and context in the process of formation and
performance, thus dealing separately with major themes in
theological ethics while incorporating them within an overarching
model. This book contains not only a fruitful exchange between
theological ethics and theatre, but it also presents a promising
method for interdisciplinary dialogue between theology and the arts
that will be valuable for students and practitioners across many
different fields.
Theology is inherently theatrical, rooted in God's performance on
the world stage and oriented toward faith seeking performative
understanding in the theatre of everyday life. Following Hans Urs
von Balthasar's magisterial, five-volume 'Theo-Drama', a growing
number of theologians and pastors have been engaging more widely
with theatre and drama, producing what has been recognized as a
"theatrical turn" in theology. This volume includes thirteen essays
from theologians and pastors who have contributed in distinct ways
to this theatrical turn and who desire to deepen interdisciplinary
dialogue between theology and theatre. The result is an
unprecedented collection of essays that embodies and advances
theatrical theology for the purpose of enriching theological
reflection and edifying the church.
