FAITH AND THE ARTS


Beethoven and Freedom
This project, published as Beethoven and Freedom (Oxford University Press, 2017), explores the ways in which Beethoven's music articulates the dilemmas of modern freedom and how religion is both enmeshed in the process as well as its critique.
Daniel KL Chua - a project with Yale, where Daniel Chua was a visiting senior fellow at the Institute of Sacred Music, the Tangeman Lecturer, and lecturer in the Music Department.


Theology of Joy and The Good Life
Daniel KL Chua, Project Leadership Team of the Theology of Joy and the Good Life project based at the Yale Center for Faith & Culture. The three-year project is made possible by a 4.2 million grant USD from The John Templeton Foundation. As a member of the Project Leadership Team, Professor Chua conducted research and directed the project in collaboration with the project’s principal investigator, Miroslav Volf, Professor of Theology at Yale Divinity School, and an extraordinary group of scholars and religious leaders from institutions around the globe, including Jürgen Moltmann, Jonathan Sacks, N. T. Wright, and Nicholas Wolterstorff. Chua contributed to a 2014 planning project on the Theology of Joy, during which the fundamental questions of the Theology of Joy and the Good Life project were formulated. The Theology of Joy and the Good Life project will conduct research and facilitate interdisciplinary conferences and other gatherings to build a transformative movement driven by an articulation of the joy that attends the flourishing human life. “We are very excited to have Professor Chua’s leadership in this project,” said Volf. “We are working to articulate visions of the good life that call forth lives of joy and to change the way that theology as a discipline understands itself and its role in society. His expertise in music and the broader humanities will bring a unique and nuanced perspective to our team, and provide guidance that is essential to achieve such ambitious aims.” More information about the Theology of Joy and the Good Life project is available at joy.yale.edu


Music, Theology and Modernity (in progress)
The aim of this edited book project (Oxford University Press: forthcoming 2019) is to explore:
-     the ways in which music (and reflection on music) can bear witness to the theological currents that have shaped modernity
-     the ways in which music (and reflection on music) can point to ways of addressing and moving beyond some of the intractable theological aporias which modernity has bequeathed to us
