Theology and the Poetic Imagination

Beschreibung

Explores the poetic imagination as a way of knowing; a way of seeing reality more clearly. Presenting a series of critical appreciations of English poetry from Anglo-Saxon times onwards, the author applies the insights of poetry to contemporary issues and the contribution poetry can make to our religious knowing and the way we 'do theology'.
