Is it possible to see, hear, touch, smell and taste God? How do we
understand the biblical promise that the 'pure in heart' will 'see
God'? Christian thinkers as diverse as Origen of Alexandria,
Bonaventure, Jonathan Edwards and Hans Urs von Balthasar have all
approached these questions in distinctive ways by appealing to the
concept of the 'spiritual senses'. In focusing on the Christian
tradition of the 'spiritual senses', this book discusses how these
senses relate to the physical senses and the body, and analyzes
their relationship to mind, heart, emotions, will, desire and
judgement. The contributors illuminate the different ways in which
classic Christian authors have treated this topic, and indicate the
epistemological and spiritual import of these understandings. The
concept of the 'spiritual senses' is thereby importantly recovered
for contemporary theological anthropology and philosophy of
religion.
