Religious change is in the wind. A spirit of discontent is placing
Christianity at the threshold of a new reformation. On the vanguard
of this pervasive change is a fast-growing group variously labeled
the "de-churched," the "unaffiliated," the "spiritual but not
religious," or the "religious do-it-yourselfer." Disenchanted with
the present, the de-churched are searching for new language and
forms by which to pursue their spiritual quest. There's a Hole in
the Sky speaks to the religiously unaffiliated, encouraging them to
see their own frustration within the context of larger social
change and providing a way of thinking about God that's fresh and
relevant yet as old as Abraham.
Embedded in portions of the biblical text are performance modes of
thought that preserve a pre-literary way of thinking that can be
analyzed through performance analysis. Even as literary forms of
thought are embedded in non-literary forms of communication
(television and radio announcers, preachers, actors, conversation),
pre-literary forms of thought (i.e., performance modes of thought),
became embedded in early literature. Performance analysis is
designed to identify and describe these performance modes of
thought embedded in the prophetic literature. While recognizing the
contribution of various forms of literary criticism, performance
analysis enriches literary analysis by bridging the written word to
its oral world. Doan's and Giles' book has two major components:
the development of performance analysis methodology and the
application of that methodology to select portions of the prophetic
texts found in the Hebrew bible.
