Book Description
Before all the wondrous shows of the widespread space around him, what living, sentient thing loves not the all-joyous light, with its colours, its rays and undulations, its gentle omnipresence in the form of the wakening Day? The giant world of the unresting constellations inhales it as the innermost soul of life, and floats dancing in its azure flood; the sparkling, ever-tranquil stone, the thoughtful, imbibing plant, and the wild, burning, multiform beast-world inhales it; but more than all, the lordly stranger with the meaning eyes, the swaying walk, and the sweetly closed, melodious lips. Like a king over earthly nature, it rouses every force to countless transformations, binds and unbinds innumerable alliances, hangs its heavenly form around every earthly substance. Its presence alone reveals the marvellous splendour of the kingdoms of the world.

Baptized Imagination
Author: Kerry Dearborn
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 131717626X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
The imagination has been called, 'the principal organ for knowing and responding to disclosures of transcendent truth'. This book probes the theological sources of the imagination, which make it a vital tool for knowing and responding to such disclosures. Kerry Dearborn approaches areas of theology and imagination through a focus on the nineteenth century theologian and writer George MacDonald. MacDonald can be seen as an icon whose life and work open a window to the intersection of word, flesh and image. He communicated the gospel through narrative and image-rich forms which honour truth and address the intellectual, imaginative, spiritual, and emotional needs of his readers. MacDonald was also able to speak prophetically in a number of areas of contemporary concern, such as the nature of suffering, aging and death, environmental degradation, moral imagination and gender issues. Dearborn explores influences which shaped him, along with the wisdom he has offeredin the formation of significant Christian writers in both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Authors such as C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Dorothy Sayers, J.R.R. Tolkien, W.H. Auden, Frederick Buechner and others attribute to MacDonald key paradigm shifts and insights in their own lives. A study of MacDonald does not offer a formulaic approach to theology and the imagination, but the possibility of gleaning from his rich harvest relevant nourishment for our own day. It also provides a context in which to assess potential weaknesses in imaginative approaches to theology.

Its presence alone reveals the marvellous splendour of thekingdoms of the world.Aside I turn to the holy, unspeakable, mysterious Night. Afar lies theworld, sunk in a deep grave; waste and lonely is its place. In the chords of thebosom blows a deep sadness. I am ready to sink away in drops of dew, andmingle with the ashes.-The distances of memory, the wishes of youth, thedreams of childhood, the brief joys and vain hopes of a whole long life, arisein gray garments, like an evening vapour after the sunset. In other regions thelight has pitched its joyous tents: what if it should never return to its children, who wait for it with the faith of innocence?What springs up all at once so sweetly boding in my heart, and stills thesoft air of sadness? Dost thou also take a pleasure in us, dusky Night? Whatholdest thou under thy mantle, that with hidden power affects my soul?Precious balm drips from thy hand out of its bundle of poppies. Thouupliftest the heavy-laden pinions of the soul. Darkly and inexpressibly are wemoved: joy-startled, I see a grave countenance that, tender and worshipful, inclines toward me, and, amid manifold entangled locks, reveals the youthfulloveliness of the Mother. How poor and childish a thing seems to me nowthe light! how joyous and welcome the departure of the day!-Didst thou notonly therefore, because the Night turns away from thee thy servants, strew inthe gulfs of space those flashing globes, to proclaim, in seasons of thyabsence, thy omnipotence, and thy retu
