Partly in a desire to defend divine freedom and partly because it
is seen as the only way of preserving a distinctive voice for
theology, much contemporary theology has artificially restricted
revelation and religious experience, effectively cutting off those
who find God beyond the walls of the Church. Against this tendency,
David Brown argues for divine generosity and a broader vision of
reality that sees God deploying symbols (literary, visual and
sacramental) as a means of mediating between the divine world and
our own material existence. A sustained argument for divine
interaction and more specifically the ways in which God speaks in
the wider imaginative world, this volume calls for a careful
listening exercise since symbols are richer and more open in their
possibilities than their users often suppose. Not only is this true
of the imagery of Scripture, even inanimate objects like buildings
or hostile but creative artists can have important things to say to
the believing Christian. An ideal introduction that also moves the
conversation forward, this volume addresses foundations, the
multivalent power of symbols, artists as theologians and meaning in
religious architecture.
