Well written, well researched

Yesterday I finished reading this well researched, well written book and I am looking forward to discussing it with a few of my friends. I will be using some of the suggested tools in my personal life and when working with counseling clients.

The section which starts on page 55 and describes a method of meditation is especially helpful. Meditation will be so much more meaningful from now on, and in fact, I stopped reading to try it out on the suggested passages - one of which, Isaiah 6, is a favorite of mine.

Another useful tool, the imagination audit, will be helpful when working with clients who are experiencing nightmares. I'm hoping that, over time, this method will be life changing for them.

Page 106 describes how to " establish and maintain a righteous feed" and I'll be practicing this method of change. I'm also going to try reading out loud (page 112).

The final chapter, on apologetics, is the best. I am praying for the wisdom to use this information well.

Helpful, Inspiring, Weirdly Specific

Imagination Redeemed is not primarily about art. As the title suggests, the book is about the imagination in general. Each chapter follows the same structure: Veith writes some on the importance of the imagination for life and art, then Ristuccia writes about some appeal to the imagination in the book of Ezekiel. In one sense, the book is broad because it addresses imagination for all of life, but the book is also oddly narrow in that most of the application focuses on the book of Ezekiel. It’s part encomium to imagination and part commentary on Ezekiel. The strength is that the sections on Ezekiel show how powerfully the Bible makes use of the imagination. The weakness is that those less interested in the background and text of Ezekiel will find the book difficult to finish. The book is full of insights on the imagination, however, and the sections on Ezekiel are also insightful. For my brief review on this book and most of the books out there on Christianity and the arts, see: theologyforreallife.com/artsbooks

Good read. New connections made to Ezekiel and other literary works. Still pondering applications.

I loved this book

7 May 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

I loved this book. Short, insightful, stimulating. It has inspired all sorts of desires for further reading and writing.

Veith & Ristuccia argue that the imagination is a largely neglected sphere of Christian spirituality, but is one of the most powerful capacities granted to God's image-bearers. Our imagination—our inner thoughts consisting of images, memories, fantasies, aspirations—cannot be ignored and will inevitably be cultivated, either by the our flesh or by the Spirit.

After the introductory chapter, the book is structured around the four imaginative visions of Ezekiel. In each chapter, literature professor Gene Edward Veith Jr. opens with a survey of the role imagination plays in life, literature, philosophy along the given topic (ch. 2, God; ch. 3, evil; ch. 4, the future; ch. 5, the community of grace.) Then Matthew P. Ristuccia, a New Jersey pastor, illustrates this principle through one of the four visions given to Ezekiel in the Babylonian exile. Each chapter concludes with a final "colloquy" where the two authors conspire to set forth a pastoral application for cultivating the imagination in the Christian life.

The portions by Gene were very interesting and thought-provoking. The expositions of Ezekiel by Matt recaptured my imagination, and grew my desire to spend more time in the Word of God. And the pastoral applications were challenging and hopeful.

Highly recommend!
