Following the good conversations we had about music and exegesis on the Leonard Cohen post a couple of days ago, I came across this paragraph from one of my favourite books, The Interpretation of the New Testament, 1861-1986, Stephen Neill and Tom Wright (OUP, 1988).

I really must work on my book, the metaphor of music continues to inspire much reflection but little typing to regig the PhD. Thanks for another nudge back to the work

Thinking about this further and having enjoyed Richard Kidd and Graham Sparks on Art at the BUGB Assembly is it a time to begin a baptists doing theology through the arts ‘thing’?

Just finished our course at College on Jesus Through the Centuries. Poetry, music, hymnology, iconography, painting, sculpture, film – all of it rich, at times strange, challenging the way we see and don’t see, forcing us to think, and think again, about how we think of Jesus, how we see both Jesus and everything else in the light shed by Jesus. I for one would be very interested in exploring theology through art – and art theologically.
The music as metaphor is interesting (as in your superb lecture |Craig), but not what I am after in my own explorations – it’s music as music, juxtaposed to text as text, and what each does to the other as they are performed in each other’s company! -
