The Avett Brothers sing of a spiritual yearning present in modern culture. Without being overtly religious, theological underpinnings are prevalent in their music. The contributors in this book delve into the Avett Brother's explicit and implicit theology with an eye on how they help make sense of our secular age. Theology and the Avett Brothers offers a rich contemplation on how these brothers from North Carolina help listeners navigate the religious consciousness of today's world, exploring themes like the good life, virtue formation, empathy, ministry models, and dying.
Alex Sosler is assistant professor of bible and ministry at Montreat College and assisting priest at Redeemer Anglican Church in Asheville, NC.

Not a lot of music makes me want to be a better human being. The Avett Brothers do, without moralistic nattering, but rather by being outrageously fun. These essays will help you savor the songs you stomp along to. -- Jason Byassee, former Butler Chair in Homiletics and Biblical Hermeneutics at the Vancouver School of Theology
