The Making of the Christian Imagination series highlights figures of the great tradition of postbiblical writers and artists who, in very different ages and cultures, have continued the dialogue begun within the pages of the New Testament. Philosophy and theology alike are vital to Christianity---but the greatest of such works rarely transcend their time. What lives from the past is more often imagination than argument, and more often than we suppose, argument has been shaped by imagination rather than vice versa. The books in this series are written in a jargon-free style and seek to examine the figures in question and their imaginative creations sympathetically but not uncritically. --Book Jacket.
