Description

Book Synopsis: Want to Know God More? Use Your Imagination This book was previously released with the title, Word Pictures: Knowing God Through Story and Imagination. Artist and screenwriter Brian Godawa used to revel in his ability to argue the truth of the Gospel, often intellectually crushing his opponents in the process. But winning an argument does not equal persuading people to follow Jesus. So what's missing? Through prayer and searching the Scriptures, Godawa realized that while God cares deeply for rationality, it wasn't the only tool he used to reach people with his truth. He discovered that storytelling, visual images, and other art in the Bible were central to Biblical evangelism and Christian apologetics because they could go places reason could never go: into the imagination and the heart. The Bible is a Work of Art Weaving historical insight, pop culture and personal narrative throughout, Godawa reveals the importance God places on imagination and creativity in the Scriptures. You'll get a biblical foundation to pursue imagination, creativity, beauty, wonder and mystery in your faith. You'll learn what C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien understood: The power of poetry, parables and visual art found in God's Word. For any Christian who wants to learn Biblical evangelism and Christian apologetics in a postmodern context, this book will help you find a path between the two extremes of intellectualized faith and anti-intellectual faith by recovering a biblical balance between reason and imagination.
