This article explores two trajectories within contemporary theopoetics. The first affirms and deepens the theological tradition and the second offers radical challenges to theological thinking. Both trajectories are evident within the turn to life writing in theological reflection as is illustrated with reference to recent work on the life of Dorothy Day. The article argues that life writing is best able to make a theological contribution when the ambivalent and occluded aspects of human experience are foregrounded and are enabled to offer new insights into our relation with the divine.
