Book Synopsis Women, Music, and Faith in Central Appalachia by : Heather Ann Ackley Bean
Book excerpt: Both urban Appalachian evangelical Christianity, as embodied in Appalachian women's folk art and music, and process theology as articulated by John B. Cobb, Jr, and those he has mentored share an existentialist eschatology that emphasizes the salvific quality of individual life in the present rather than hope in the future. Explores the ways in which these two marginal Christian existential theological traditions share common beliefs, articulate them in radically different ways with radically different results, and thus might learn from one another.
