Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LynchAIs work on the Platonic analogical imagination as instrument and entry into faith gets the attention it merits. Bednar examines LynchAIs concepts in detail; the interconnectedness of faith and imagination, the role of imagination in giving new images to faith, the ironic Christic image, O the difference between imagination in drama and fantasy, the paradigm shift from scholastic to modern understanding of faith. Bednar clears the way for faith as imagination to accommodate conflicting opinions on some significant religious issues.
