• W341125176 abstract "God and Mystery in Words: through Worship and Drama. By David Brown. New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008. 288 pp. $49.95 (cloth). This is final volume in a theological trilogy. The first, God and Enchantment of Place, examined need for faith to reengage with a sense of place and context, while second, God and Grace of Body, explored need for an embodied understanding of faith through art, dance, music, and Eucharist. The concluding book tackles way in which poetry and drama can be channels for religious and was written in close conjunction with its immediate predecessor. God and Mystery in Words consists of two sections: Part I, Experience through Metaphor; and Part II, Experience through Drama, each with four chapters. At outset Brown states his conviction revealed religion builds on natural religion rather than wholly subverts it (p. 1) as he seeks to integrate his thinking about metaphor and drama with his ideas on worship. For Brown, words and language can function sacramentally (p. 17), and in his opening chapter he draws out how such a sacramental understanding has roots in Greek philosophy and Jewish mysticism (the Kabbalah). This introduction leads into his detailed consideration of divine disclosure in metaphor and poetry. He observes that Greek term from which word poet is derived originally meant maker or creator, which may, in part, account for fact that Christians have at times been as suspicious of metaphor as they have been of image (p. 53). Poetry and metaphor are resistant to closure, which means they have a close relationship with both religion and iconoclasm. Having concluded that we must engage with a poet's metaphors on their terms rather than ours because only that way can poetry provide possibility of access to new understandings and experience (p. 66), in next chapter Brown turns his attention to poetic expressions found in hymns and psalms. After setting out some of historical background, he turns to vexed issue of contemporary hymnody, where he appears critical of many recent developments. To some extent this is because present range of hymnody is too narrow and characterized by a continued reluctance to explore whole range of human emotion and experience (p. 108). Then, in final chapter of Part 1, he explores relationship between verbal and images-in particular through preaching, illuminated manuscripts, and issue of idolatry. Brown clearly values sermons and illumination but makes bold claim that so much of contemporary Christianity sees itself as a religion of word, and as such marginalises visual (p. 132). In my experience, the visual has undergone something of a renaissance in contemporary Christianity through use of banners in churches, together with more recent use of multimedia images in worship. …" @default.
