"Persuasive and compelling" This book makes the case that imagination plays a crucial role in reading the Bible because it transforms the study of Scripture into aesthetically inspiring, intellectually stimulating, emotionally rewarding, theologically rich, and spiritually transformative adventures of the mind. "How refreshing to read a book that endorses imaginative and creative readings of Scripture! Heim and Oetter have given us renewed justification to look for the strange, the abnormal, and even the fantastical in the pages of the Bible and to celebrate the human mind's ability to endlessly explore fresh possibilities of interpretation. A life-affirming, imaginative book that deserves a key place on your theological bookshelf!" --Katharine Dell, University of Cambridge "This is a really useful book to enable us to work out the vital role of imagination in the study of the Scriptures. It's good on the theory, and it has lots of useful examples." --John Goldingay, Fuller Seminary (emeritus) "A persuasive case for why reading the Bible with imagination is essential for faithful biblical interpretation. This book builds bridges between academic and ecclesial interpretive practices with clarity and conviction. Relevant to a broad audience--from students to academics and beyond--this work opens new avenues for unlocking Scripture's full potential." --Cami Brubaker, Bethel University "This book brings together the best of both literary and theological readings of the biblical text in an illuminating hermeneutic of imagination. Imagination is convincingly argued as the needed quality through which literary texts intended as sacred witness can reveal their full power." --Bruce C. Birch, Wesley Theological Seminary (emeritus) "Persuasive and compelling, this book is a must-read for all who employ their imaginative capabilities to authentically unlock the Bible's imaginative nature." --Madipoane Masenya (Ngwan'a Mphahlele), University of South Africa (emeritus)
