Twenty years after the fall of Communism in Central and East Europe
is an ocassion to reevaluate the cultural and theological
contribution from that region to the secularization -
post-secularization debate. Czech theologian Ivana Noble develops a
Trinitarian theology through a close dialogue with literature,
music and film, which formed not only alternatives to totalitarian
ideologies, but also followed the loss and reappeareance of belief
in God. Noble explains that, by listening to the artists, the
churches and theologians can deal with questions about the nature
of the world, memory and ultimate fulfilment in a more nuanced way.
Then, as partakers in the search undertaken by their secular and
post-secular contemporaries, theologians can penetrate a new depth
of meaning, sending out shoots from the stump of Christian
symbolism. Drawing on the rich cultures of Central and East Europe
and both Western and Eastern theological traditions, this book
presents a theological reading of contemporary culture which is
important not just for post-Communist countries but for all who are
engaged in the debate on the boundaries between theology, politics
and arts.
