Jt:'And well it (the imagination) should be'???   DearG:Might you be so kind as to provide a 'word' (No, forget that I said A WORD) on the role of the imagination in the life of every human being? You are TT's most imaginative contributor.   Narrative comprises most of the Older Testament. Jesus employed 'story-telling'. I've come late to the table on this one. Think of Iris Murdoch (philosopher), John Bunyan (Pilgrim's Progress), Les Miserable, Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, Edgar Allen Poe, JRRTolkien's masterful trilogy etc....   Critiquing the imagination? Hello? Where would we be without it? We employ it in virtually every communication we make.   Perhaps the TT participlant with the most rationalistic bent is David but, I'd guess he read many great stories to his children when they were 'of an age to be read to'. (David: yes/no Smile David, it's not a 'shot' - I think).         From: Judy Taylor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: November 23, 2004 06:10 Subject: [TruthTalk] Unilateral Covenant? From: "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Suggestion:Combine rationalism with imagination. The role of imagination in biblical and theological thinking is under rated.   jt: And well it should be lest we find at the end that we are holding to a god of our own imagination - a figment if you will.
