MUSIC AND THE GENEROSITY OF GOD Gerald C. Liu

Radical Theologies and Philosophies Series editors Mike Grimshaw Department of Sociology University of Canterbury Christchurch, New Zealand Michael Zbaraschuk University of Washington Tacoma, Washington, USA Joshua Ramey Haverford College Haverford, Pennsylvania, USA

Radical Theologies and Philosophies is a call for transformational theologies that break out of traditional locations and approaches. The rhizomic ethos of radical theologies enable the series to engage with an ever-­ expanding radical expression and critique of theologies that have entered or seek to enter the public sphere, arising from the continued turn to religion and especially radical theology in politics, social sciences, philosophy, theory, cultural, and literary studies. The post-theistic theology both driving and arising from these intersections is the focus of this series. More information about this series at http://www.palgrave.com/series/14521
