Theologians cannot confine themselves to biblical texts and Christian tradition as a framework for reference but must also seek evidence of God's presence in cultures and religions. God\/Terror examines the pursuit of God in the context of oppression, violence, and terror from an aesthetic perspective. It explores how artists and writers approach the relationship between God and Terror. Statements such as composer Karl Heinz Stockhausen's assertion that 9\/11 was the greatest work of art ever or South African writer Adam Small's claim that only literature can perform the miracle of reconciliation serve as opportunities to reflect upon the relationship between ethics and aesthetics, theology, and the arts. This theme mirrors God talk in memory of 9\/11 and in the context of political conflicts in Germany, South Korea, and South Africa, akin to a medieval diptych. Originally published in German as Gott - Terror: ein Diptychon by Kohlhammer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781800500921\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Volker Kuster","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44096483983610,"sku":"9781800500921","price":49.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646156743449_book.jpg?v=1646913583","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/god-terror-ethics-and-aesthetics-in-contexts-of-conflict-and-reconciliation-9781800500921","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
