In this episode, I speak with Thomas Gardner about Lyric Theology, his recent book that is out now with Baylor University Press.
In the book, Thomas looks at four different artists—Czeslaw Milosz, Terence Malick, Marilynne Robinson, and Annie Dillard—as a way of exploring the doctrine of creation. Thomas practices patient, careful engagements with these artists, asking all along the way how their “lyric thinking” might enrich theological reflection. It’s a fascinating book and I think you’ll really enjoy our conversation.
Thomas Gardner is Alumni Distinguished Professor Emeritus of English at Virginia Tech. He’s authored numerous books and collections of poetry, including another book with Baylor Press that puts the Gospel of John into conversation with poets.
