This module will examine the nature and status of the imagination and its role in religious contexts. We will consider a range of approaches or modes of theological engagement with the arts, though we will also consider a variety of artworks, in different media - such as popular music and science fiction - as a way of testing the cogency of these models and exploring the possibility that works of art may be able to do things that propositional theological discourse cannot.
