This work incorporates reflections from leading poets of the Anglican tradition. Illuminated by a series of fine art paintings, Alister McGrath's new volume seeks to engage both the mind and the imagination as he vividly explores the divine compassion that led God to sacrifice his only son in order to save a world oppressed and unable to help itself. Poetry, prayer and theological reflection are interwoven with commentary on the ideas conveyed through Sir Edward John Poynter's "The Prodigal's Return", Amedeo Bocchi's "On the Lawn" (illustrating the theme of adoption), Jacopo Bassano's "The Last Supper", Caravaggio's "The Taking of Christ", Antonio Ciseri's "Ecce Homo", Salvador Dali's "Christ of St John of the Cross" and El Greco's "Pieta". The result not only helps us to engage more fully with the gospel narratives, but also to come to a greater understanding of the truth and the reality of our Christian faith. "The Truth and the Christian Imagination" series will comprise five volumes: "Creation", "Incarnation", "Redemption", "Resurrection", and "God". Each may be read as complete in itself or with others in the series to gain a deeper understanding of the Christian faith.

Industry Reviews

"'This beautifully illustrated hardback offers an articulate attempt to engage both the mind and the spirit on the basis of the Christian faith: the principle that Jesus Christ is God incarnate.' Life and Work 'Alister McGrath invariably combines enormous scholarship with an accessible and engaging style.' Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury"
