God and Mystery in Words: Experience Through Metaphor and Drama
ISBN: 9780199599974 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

So far, from encouraging imagination and exploration, hymns and sermons now more commonly merely consolidate belief. Again, contemporary liturgy in both its music and its ceremonial fails to take seriously either current dramatic theory or the sociology of ritual. Yet this was not always so. Poetry and drama, Brown suggests, grew out of religion, and therefore...
