Description
Summary:A 'theopoetic' issues a clarion call for an embodied, multi-dimensional theology as an affirmative response to the excesses of reason and cognition often characteristic of modernity and evangelical theological expressions. When reason becomes detached from the imagination, it robs the Church of the breadth of God's incarnational communicative action through both the mind and heart: theo-logic and theo-poiesis. This article will highlight several recent 'theopoetic' trajectories as exemplars towards an overall theological sensibility that includes human thinking, affections, and imaginations manifested through embodiment, humility and hospitality. It intends to stimulate further research and dialogue for evangelical theopoetic initiatives, integrating both the cognitive and affective in theological discourse.
