Summary:

Using elements of American jazz as her metaphor and process theology as her focus, Pederson orchestrates a unique understanding of God's role in creation. The creative order, she says, is not a fixed and immutable event from the past, but a series of divine improvisations that compose the cosmic composition even as it is played out.

Contents:

The composition of creation

Creativity as creaturely vocation

Perfecting the art of "hanging out"

The blues : an affirmation that life still swings

The life of the church.
