I’m excited to report that I’m now a contributor on another blog, “Rock and Theology.” The R&T project, spearheaded by Fordham’s Tom Beaudoin and sponsored by Liturgical Press (the publishing arm of the Benedictines in the US), hopes to generate interest through the blog and perhaps launch some publications in the future. A bit of background on the project:
This “Rock and Theology” blog is the first fruit of this project. And there’s more to come. We hope the blog will be a place to ask how faith and culture constellate, how contemporary social embodiment comes to be spiritual-religious, by cycling through the cultures of rock and theology. To discover new pleasures in theology and secular music, however difficult the lessons of those pleasures for what we thought theology and rock had to be. And to test, as a blog, the virtues of the ephemeral for all of us who live engulfed by the worldly and the spiritual.
Other contributors at this point are Loye Ashton (Tougaloo) Tom Beaudoin (Fordham), Adrian Hartley (Blue Man Group), Michael Iafrate (St Michael’s College, Toronto), and Brian Robinette (Saint Louis). My first post was yesterday, and I look forward to engaging these issues further with these colleagues and others.
