Contents:

Prospects for a musical-aesthetic critique of modern theology -- Pythagoras and Orpheus as premodern theological resources -- Schleiermacher on music as the expression of feeling and mood -- Barth on music as timelessly valid form -- Wittgenstein on music as performance -- Theology as performance: assessment and application.

Summary: Theology as Performance breaks new ground in the growing conversation between modern theology and philosophical aesthetics. Stoltzfus proposes that significant moments in the Western development of the concept of God, in particular as represented in the figures of Friedrich Schleiermacher, Karl Barth, and Ludwig Wittgenstein, have been deeply influenced by concepts and approaches borrowed from the discipline of musical aesthetics. Each thinker develops fundamentally different ways of writing about God that have in significant respects been derived from each one's reading and writing about musi.
