A Night with Nietzsche: Whatever Happened to our New Humanity?
Friedrich Nietzsche had a vision of a new humanity – an “ubermensch” – a promised humanity that goes beyond its tired customs to a new horizon. There were several amazing attributes to this “new being.” Courage was one. Unbounded love was another. The ability to look meaninglessness in the eye without heading for the hills (or the fortresses) of traditional religion was a third. Nietzsche said that he came too early with his promised good news, but we might ask today if it is too late. Is Nietzsche’s promised future lost to us or is there a way to glimpse it once again.

Relation, Transience, and Injustice: Three Themes for Theology with Music with Dr. Dirk von der Horst

Some recent theologians, such as Jeremy Begbie, Philip Stoltzfus, and Ferdia Stone-Davis, use music as a way of thinking about theology in an embodied way. Taking the relational theology of Carter Heyward as a starting point, I will draw out three themes in theology of music – relation (manifest in musical harmony as well as ways in which music creates community), transience (manifest in the way music organizes time), and injustice (manifest in the ways music can serve damaging hierarchies as well as harmonious relations).
