Title: Faithful imagining
Description: Written from different perspectives, attending in some cases to particular writers and artists and in others to broader topics, each of these essays illumines some aspect of the imaginative component in religion. These studies analyze some of the ways in which nature, self, and community have been imagined religiously. Included are essays on Augustine, Dante, Jonathan Edwards, William James, Charles Peirce, Frida Kahlo, and Richard R. Niebuhr, and on such varied topics as the Manichaeans, the Qur'an, ecology, meditation, and contemporary conceptions of university and church. The authors and editors have prepared them as a tribute to Richard R. Niebuhr, Hollis Professor of Divinity, Harvard University.
