She uses Lonergan's theological framework to explore musical composition as a theological act, showing why, when, and how music is a useful symbolic form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book introduces eleven ground-breaking theologians, and each chapter offers an entry point into the thought of the theologian being presented through an original piece of music, which can be found on the companion website: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bloomsbury.pub\/suspended-god\"\u003ehttps:\/\/bloomsbury.pub\/suspended-god\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHeaney argues that music is a universally important means of making sense of life with which theology needs to engage as a means of expression and of development. Musical composition is presented as an appropriate and even necessary form of doing theology in its quest to engage with the past, mediate truth to the present, and tradition it into the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47598734246124,"sku":"9780567695604","price":62.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/31086ef014a25c449e441fe71cbcd7cd.jpg?v=1778025485","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/suspended-god-by-dr-maeve-louise-heaney-9780567695604","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
