Theology of Wagner's Ring Cycle II

Exploring themes of power, violence, love, and fate, this volume delves into Wagner's Ring and its relevance to contemporary debates on politics, gender, and sexuality. Richard Bell presents a theological analysis, suggesting that Wagner's insights can provide fresh perspectives on traditional theological questions like sacrifice and redemption.
