Redemption and Radiohead - Princeton Theological Seminary

What could the discipline of Christian theology learn from the band Radiohead about the world’s brokenness and its longing for redemption? In this episode, Shari Oosting talks with Robert Saler exploring what it might mean for Radiohead to “soundtrack” a theology of defiance against the forces that create death in our daily lives.
