Role of Imagination

For J.H. Newman, the function of imagination was literally to 'realise' faith, in the sense of making God real in a person's life. ... 'The heart is commonly reached, not through reason, but through the imagination.' ... There is an important pastoral insight here: unless religious truth touches our imagination in some way, it will fail to become personally alive. [Michael Gallagher, Faith Maps 15.]

A Quote for Myself (5)

He who has an imagination without learning, has wings but no feet.
