Scholars of religion have begun to explore horror and the
monstrous, not only within the confines of the biblical text or the
traditions of religion, but also as they proliferate into popular
culture. This exploration emerges from what has long been present
in horror: an engagement with the same questions that animate
religious thought - questions about the nature of the divine,
humanity's place in the universe, the distribution of justice, and
what it means to live a good life, among many others. Such
exploration often involves a theological conversation. Theology and
Horror: Explorations of the Dark Religious Imagination pursues
questions regarding non-physical realities, spaces where both
divinity and horror dwell. Through an exploration of theology and
horror, the contributors explore how questions of spirituality,
divinity, and religious structures are raised, complicated, and
even sometimes answered (at least partially) by works of horror.
