Description

Way to Water: A Theopoetics Primer explores the development of the field of theological inquiry known as theopoetics. This text aims to provide both theological and practical resources for contemporary people of faith seeking to maintain a confessional Christian life that is also intellectually critical.

The book examines how theopoetics emerged in response to the American death-of-God movement, and has since grown into a method for engaging in theological thought that honors embodiment and aesthetic dimensions of human experience. The author draws on key figures such as Stanley Hopper and Rubem Alves to illustrate the field's growth.

The text concludes with a series of theopoetic reflections, providing insights that can aid in the development of tangible church practices. This comprehensive articulation of the nature and function of theopoetics makes it an essential resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of this emerging field.
