Series: T&T Clark Explorations at the Crossroads of Theology and Aesthetics
"Robert Saler examines the small but influential Death to the World movement in US Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Presenting a case study in theological aesthetics, Saler demonstrates how a relatively small consumer phenomenon within US Eastern Orthodoxy sits at the centre of a variety of larger questions, including:

- The relationship between formal ecclesial and para-church structures

- The role of the Internet

in modern religiosity

- Consumer structures and patterns as constitutive of piety - How theology can help us understand art and vice versa

Understanding ""Death to the World"" as an instance of lived religion tied to questions of identity, politics of religious purity, relationships to capitalism, and concerns over conspiracy theory helps us to see how studies of uniquely American Eastern Orthodox identity must address these broader cultural strands."

Reviews for """Death to the World"" and Apocalyptic Theological Aesthetics"

Deftly weaving together theological and cultural critique, Robert Cady Saler offers us the first interdisciplinary study on the Death to the World movement and its attached affective eschatological politics of rebellion and belonging. Through interviews with group leaders, textual analysis, and theological interrogation, Saler wrestles with the relationships among, music, consumerism, religion, and identity politics, asking provocatively: Can rebellion be purchased? An essential read for understanding the emphasis on apocalyptic politics and capitalism that animates contemporary Christianity in the United States, Saler reminds us of why Orthodox Christianity should be central study of American religion(s). * Sarah Riccardi-Swartz, Northeastern University, USA *
