Description
The God Who Plays: A Playful Approach to Theology and Spirituality By Brian Edgar A playful attitude towards God and the world is at the heart of Christian faith, yet this approach has often been overlooked in favour of more serious responsibilities. However, the prophets suggest that a future kingdom of laughter and playfulness holds significant implications for Christians living out their faith today. This book explores how a playful attitude can bring justice to life, and how it relates to key Christian concepts such as grace, faith, love, worship, redemption, and the kingdom. A playful approach to spirituality is not trivial or secondary to work and service, but rather an essential way of relating to God. Drawing on the wisdom of thinkers like Thomas Aquinas and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, this book shows how a "play ethic" can complement our "work ethic", and how play can be a virtue in its own right. By embracing a playful approach to theology and spirituality, we can deepen our understanding of what it means to live out the Christian faith in all areas of life.
