Imagination & Spiritual Formation

Course Description

The imagination plays a central role in our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. By looking at how Christians have historically trained their imaginations, we’ll learn how stories, symbols, art, and architecture can form our beliefs, practices, and character. Touching on church history and theology and the arts, this course offers, among other things, an introduction to unicorns, dragons, multi-coloured panthers, and many-headed beasts—and considers how all of them can teach us something about our faith.
