Description

Long ignored, imagination plays a central role in how we relate to God. Here Richard Cote explores the role of the imagination in the development of our spirituality and deepest sense of faith. Using the analogy of Lazarus, Cote explores how our imagination is waiting to be called out from its tomb. This book is a loud and clear clarion call to celebrate the place of imagination and creativity at the heart of our experience of God. Like the biblical figure of Lazarus, whom Jesus called forth from the tomb, our imaginations wait to be summoned forth into the light. Religious imagination is a key dimension of faith, the vital point of contact between divine revelation and human experience. Without religious imagination, how can we see the hand of God in our lives, the face of Christ in the poor, or the signs of God's reign in our broken world? The faithful imagination of Christians opens up unprecedented possibilities for the believer and the Church today.
