What can they teach us about God? Art, music, dance, and writing can certainly be \"poetic,\" but so can such diverse pastimes as fishing, skiing, or attending sports events. Any and all activities that satisfy our fundamental need for play, for celebration, and for ritual, says William Dyrness, are inherently poetic -- and in \u003ci\u003ePoetic Theology\u003c\/i\u003e he demonstrates that all such activities are places where God is active in the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e All of humanity's creative efforts, Dyrness points out, testify to our intrinsic longing for joy and delight and our deep desire to connect with others, with the created order, and especially with the Creator. This desire is rooted in the presence and calling of God in and through the good creation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With extensive reflection on aesthetics in spirituality, worship, and community development, Dyrness's \u003ci\u003ePoetic Theology\u003c\/i\u003e will be useful for all who seek fresh and powerful new ways to communicate the gospel in contemporary society.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 23, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42593781219424,"sku":"9780802865786","price":49.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/VkdaekZFMUxUQVVCZW5VbTRVeXFCZz09.webp?v=1771530891","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/poetic-theology-god-and-the-poetics-of-everyday-life-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
