What to make of this paradox? In Playing On: Re-staging the Passion after the Death of God, Mirella Klomp offers a theological analysis of this performance and those involved in it. Working in an interdisciplinary fashion and utilizing creative interludes, she demonstrates how precisely this production of Jesus' last hours carves out a new and unexpected space for God in a (post-)secular culture. Klomp argues compellingly that understanding God's presence in the Western world requires looking beyond the church and at the public domain; that is the future of practical theology. She lays out this agenda for practical theology by showing how the Dutch playfully rediscover Christian tradition, and – perhaps – even God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents   Preface  List of Charts, Figures and Tables    Prologue  Setting the Stage       1 The Play: A Popular Passion in the Public Sphere  2 The Scenery: Dwellings in a Sacro-Soundscape  3 The Re-Appearance of God: Ana-Liturgy  Cross-Fading Perspectives on the Play     4 Claiming Sacred Ground: A Spatial Practice  Side Light: Locus Iste.
