Part of the The Power of the Word series

Hardback

Description

What is the role of spiritual experience in poetry?

What are the marks of a religious imagination? How close can the secular and the religious be brought together?

How do poetic imagination and religious beliefs interact?

Exploring such questions through the concept of the religious imagination, this book integrates interdisciplinary research in the area of poetry on the one hand, and theology, philosophy and Christian spirituality on the other. Established theologians, philosophers, literary critics and creative writers explain, by way of contemporary and historical examples, the primary role of the religious imagination in the writing as well as in the reading of poetry.
