Can You Imagine?
Why imagination is crucial to the Christian life
by Brandon J. O'Brien
Faith is an act of the imagination. And a healthy, vibrant imagination is crucial to the Christian life.
You will likely disagree with these statements if you associate the imagination with delusion, fancy, and/or make believe. Christian belief is quite concerned with facts. After all, we follow the One whose name is Truth, so we must be committed completely and unwaveringly to the truth, not led astray by fantasy and illusion. I couldn't agree more. The trustworthiness of the Christian message is grounded in historical fact—the very real event of Jesus' resurrection from the dead. The whole of Christianity hangs on whether or not there truly was a first Easter morning.
