Biblische Ausbildung on U2

[Update to the below: there's yet another Biblische Ausbildung U2 post now, on "The Wanderer," reading it together with Rob Vagacs' take on the song from Religious Nuts Political Fanatics, Bonhoeffer, and Ecclesiastes.]


I marked and lost track of these brief reflections, with accompanying ZooTV-era video, on "Where the Streets Have No Name" by Stephen Cook of Virginia Theological Seminary. The post focuses mostly on the "city" imagery and identifies the band as being "something of a favorite among seminary professors." Fortunately, the same blog covered "Beautiful Day" this week, tying it in with the Revised Common Lectionary reading for 1 Advent from Jeremiah 33, and I've remembered I meant to send readers over there to have a look.
