Ethnodoxology

Last updated

According to the Global Ethnodoxology Network (GEN), Ethnodoxology is "the interdisciplinary study of how Christians in every culture engage with God and the world through their own artistic expressions." [1]

Other definitions developed and used during the first 20 years of the term being used:

The term ethnodoxology was coined by Dave Hall. The earliest appearance of the term in print was a 1997 issue of the journal EM News (Vol. 6, No. 3), by the editor, Brian Schrag.

A broad resource for those in the field is a pair of volumes: Worship and Mission for the Global Church: An Ethnodoxology Handbook [6] and its how-to companion Creating Local Arts Together: A Manual to Help Communities Reach their Kingdom Goals. [7] The GEN YouTube channel contains many videos about the practice of ethnodoxology. The open-access scholarly journal Ethnodoxology: A Global Forum on Arts and Christian Faith [8] contains peer-reviewed papers, working papers, and book reviews in the field.
