In a world that increasingly sees religion as a source of violence,
this book explores resources from within religious traditions that
might help build peace. Drawing from the rich textual histories of
Christianity and Islam, the contributors mine their faith
traditions for ways of thinking and ways of being that help shift
perceptions about religion, and actively contribute to the growth
of peace in our troubled times. Not content with retreat into
religious exclusivism, these essays are an act of sharing something
held dear. In sharing, the thing offered no longer remains the
possession of the one who offers, and so these essays are an act of
vulnerability and trust-building. In sharing precious things
together, in giving and receiving, peace becomes not only a matter
of dialogue, but also shared commitments to ways of being.

Theology, Fantasy, and the Imagination is an edited collection at
the intersection of theology, religion, and philosophy and fantasy
literature and table-top games. The volume begins with an
invocation of the “old magic” of pre-modern theology and
follows with analyses of classical Christian fantasy. The second
section articulates a “post-Christian” turn in fantasy since
the late twentieth century, arguing how fantasy can serve to
re-enchant the imagination in ways that moves beyond traditional
Christianity. The last section on fantasy at play explores how
religion is at play in Dungeons and Dragons and in Magic: the
Gathering.
