Theologians cannot limit themselves to biblical texts and Christian tradition as a frame of reference, but also have to search for traces of God's presence in cultures and religions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGod\/Terror\u003c\/em\u003e addresses the quest for God in the context of oppression, violence and terror from an aesthetic perspective. It looks at how artists and writers approach the relationship between God and terror. Statements such as that from composer Karl Heinz Stockhausen, \"9\/11 was the greatest work of art ever,\" or from South African writer Adam Small, \"Only literature can perform the miracle of reconciliation,\" are occasions to reflect again about the relationship between ethics and aesthetics, theology and the arts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs in a medieval diptych, the theme mirrors God talk in memory of 9\/11 and in the context of political conflicts in Germany, South Korea and South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Volker K?ter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800500920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800500921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Equinox Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Volker K?ter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991067754751,"sku":"9781800500921","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58c3a990-a796-4469-8d7c-d331d1a81e9a.jpg?v=1683308252","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/god-terror-volker-kster-9781800500921","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
