When many consider how to engage young adults, they typically start with the Eucharistic Liturgy. This article looks at what the U. S.

The Texts Of Faith In Times Of Tragedy, Ryan Anderson Apr 2019

The Texts Of Faith In Times Of Tragedy, Ryan Anderson

Grapho : Concordia Seminary Student Journal

This paper will focus on that phenomenon and its longstanding tension with American Christianity. I will investigate how American civil religion emerges when faced with tragedy. The investigation will be done by way of a case study: a thorough analysis of Celine Dion’s performance of “God Bless America,” the history of the original song and its author, and the variety of responses her performance has fostered both then and now, particularly online. What we will discover is that practitioners of civil religion existentially and therapeutically depend on an “encounter with the divine” during times of national tragedy. This encounter is …

That is, "What form should theological method take to efficaciously engage the secular?" This study suggests that the answer might lie in an innovative fusion of Scripture with borrowed concepts from secular culture. Thus, this dissertation responds to the problem of the need for robust, multidimensional …
