Kicking at the Darkness reads Bruce Cockburn's songs through a theological lens, showing how vivid imagery and plainspoken honesty shape a distinctive Christian imagination. The author follows themes that recur across Cockburn's work and considers their spiritual and cultural significance.

Rather than a biography, the book offers close readings of key lyrics and scenes of moral struggle. Chapters explore doubt, anger, failure and hope, and how artistic imagination can provoke ethical reflection and cultural critique.

Ideal for readers interested in faith and the arts, cultural theology, or songwriting, the volume invites reflective engagement with music as a resource for spiritual thought.
