If this is not to be confused with fantasy or wish fulfilment, we need some account of how the imagination can used through images of salvation: symbols and sacred narratives. Metaphysical reductionism inspired by success of the physical sciences, especially by the employment of recent molecular biology, creates an unprecedented challenge for reflective religious belief: ontology is confined to scientific description. Christian theology in particular has a long tradition of 'faith seeking understanding'. 606 $aImagination$xReligious aspects 606 $aImagination (Philosophy) 615 0$aImagination$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aImagination (Philosophy) 676 $a128/.3 700 $aHedley$b Douglas$0140538 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789795003321 996 $aLiving forms of the imagination$93847699 997 $aUNINA
