Perhaps one of the least appreciated aspects of Rowan Williams is his
theology of imagination. Seeking to fill this gap, this book explores
the imaginative impulse operative in Rowan Williams’ theology and
poetry, which centres around the notion of ‘divine desire’, and the way
in which imagination can reveal possibility even in the bleakest of
circumstances.
Drawing on his poetic work as well as his theological writing, the book
explores how Williams’ theology leads us to a fresh understanding of
the ways in which the renewing and enabling energy of the Holy Spirit is
ever active, within and beyond the Church, in enabling human
imaginations to cooperate with the divine energy of love in bringing
creation to fulfilment.
