That is not a good way to title a book. The best title I have seen is "Theological Jazz" with the author's subtitle. But I agree with the comment that a book's title should reflect it's content. Moreover, good titles often "carry" the thesis or the golden thread that pulls the pieces of the book together. If the author thinks 'improvisations' is that theme (what would the opposite of improvisation be?), then that should be in the main title, not the subtitle. Is the theme of improvisation influenced by Sam Wells' use of the term? If so, that is a theatrical reference more than a musical one, and carries the notion of performance, that theology is something that is not simply thought, but performed in everyday life. Thus a title like 'Theology in the Practice of Everyday Life.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-4754206743980182782010-03-22T09:32:12.626-04:002010-03-22T09:32:12.626-04:00A bit late/too late for this party?
