God and the Creative Imagination

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the significance of metaphor, symbol, and myth, Paul Avis challenges the notion that figurative language is merely superficial in contemporary culture. He presents an alternative tradition rooted in the Romantic poets Blake, Wordsworth, and Keats, alongside the ideas of Cleridge and Newman. By integrating insights from modern philosophy and science, Avis argues that these elements are essential for a deeper understanding of God and the sacred, emphasizing their enduring value in spiritual discourse.
