A collection of essays exploring the ways in which theatre and drama are providing conceptual models of use to a growing number of theologians.
Theology is inherently theatrical, rooted in God's performance on the world stage and oriented toward faith seeking performative understanding in the theatre of everyday life. Following Hans Urs von Balthasar's magisterial, five-volume 'Theo-Drama', a growing number of theologians and pastors have been engaging more widely with theatre and drama,
producing what has been recognized as a "theatrical turn" in theology. This volume includes thirteen essays from theologians and pastors who have contributed in distinct ways to this theatrical turn and who desire to deepen interdisciplinary dialogue between theology and theatre. The result is an unprecedented collection of essays that embodies and advances theatrical theology for the purpose of enriching theological reflection and edifying the church.

Wesley Vander Lugt is Lead Pastor of Warehouse 242 in Charlotte, North Carolina. He is the author of 'Living Theodrama: Reimagining Theological Ethics' (2014) and the coauthor of 'Pocket Dictionary of the Reformed Tradition' (2013). Trevor Hart is Rector of Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church and Honorary Professor at the University of St Andrews. His recent publications include 'Between the Image and the Word: Theological Engagements with Imagination, Literature, and Language' (2013) and 'Making Good: Creation, Creativity, and Artistry' (2014).
