Contemporary Theatre and the Christian Faith

Kay M Baxter

4.9/5 (25644 ratings)

Description:Today's serious theatre is concerned, more deeply than for many generations, with exploring the human condition in all its aspects. In doing this, it inevitably touches at many points upon the concerns of thoughtful Christians.It is this point of contact with which Mrs.Baxter is interested. In her book she shows again and again how the secular playwright and the Christian theologian have insights of crucial significance for each other and for the public. Her aim is to see points at which the "new" theatre illuminates problems Christians face in understanding and communicating their faith. Plays are discussed in such a way that the analysis is meaningful even to readers who have not seen or read the plays.Mrs.Baxter looks at plays that raise crucial issues about integrity, about lack of communication, and about death. In each case she shows that the playwright has struck at the heart of a desperate human illness, yet without hope of resolution of guilt or promise of new life. Only the Christian faith, she asserts, can give this in any deep or authentic way, yet the church today is tongue-tied.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
