Introduction. Part 1 -- Religious imagination reconsidered. 1 Religion as imagination in modern thought. 2 A theological dilemma: 'natural theology' or 'positivism of revelation'. 3 The priority of paradigms: clues from the natural sciences. 4 Religion and the paradigmatic imagination. Part 2 -- The Christian imagination. 5 The image of god: the meaning of revelation. 6 The normative vision: the function of scripture. 7 The faithful imagination: the task of theology
'...presents an original interpretation of the nature of imagination that reveals significant links between literature, natural science, and religious belief. This is a new kind of theological book--one that respects and affirms how important the secular study of religion is to Christian theology.'
