The indiscrete image

"In The Indiscrete Image, Thomas A. Carlson challenges our common ideas about theological tradition and today's technological culture, arguing instead that it may be humanity's final lack of definition that first enables, and calls for, human creativity and its correlates - including technology, tradition, and their inextricable interplay within religious existence." "This book builds an understanding of creativity as conditioned by insurmountable unknowing and incalculable possibility. It does so through alternative readings of Christian theological tradition and technological culture - and the surprising resonance between the two."--BOOK JACKET.
