The semiotics of the Christian imagination describes the repository
of signs and the logic of signification through which a community
of faith envisions spiritual truths. This book analyses various
examples in text, images, music, art and scientific treatise of the
imaginative semiotisation of the fall of Man and the Church's
semiotic perception of the Divine plan for Redemption. The book
includes a chapter detailing the theory of signs, based on a close
reading of primary sources, and has nine further chapters on the
meaning-making inherent in ideas of the Fall and Redemption of
mankind. These are filtered through and given material
representation by the semiotic paradigms of various cultural
fields, including philology, verbal arts and science. Central to
this practice - and to the book's message - are two themes of
theological semiotics fundamental to man's understanding of himself
in the larger scheme of things. Two of these include the theology
of the Fall and a sacramental theory of signs. The theory is
grounded in the doctrine of analogy, and this is the only reliable
cognitive link between the immanence of the thinking subject and
the transcendence that is the object of thought.
