All These Things into Position

Theology

“Rob Saler is out to change theology’s soundtrack. In this tour-de-force interdisciplinary exchange, he demonstrates the eerie resonances and compelling creative possibilities if theology listens to Radiohead as it engages with the machinery of modern life. Saler convincingly shows the shared ground between theology and Radiohead: a ringing defiance in the face of exploitation and mortality, and an insistence upon beauty and hope in and for a suffering world.”

Why Read Four Quartets?

Arts & Literature

“Good teachers convey a sense of wonder about their subject. Tom Brous demonstrates himself to be such a teacher in this deeply personal and passionate account of his sustained meditation on T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. Brous’ expert knowledge is everywhere evident, but his aim is not narrowly academic: it is to inspire in us a love for this poetry, and to empower us to undertake our own journey of understanding. The book is wonderful.”
