Cognitive linguistics offers incredibly helpful tools to understand what is going on in theological debates. This book nicely adds to the growing list of people using conceptual blending to help Christians better understand, and perhaps even resolve, debates ranging from the Eucharist to frozen embryos. -- John Sanders, Hendrix College

Kidd and Rinderknecht have assembled an excellent collection of essays that brings insights from the cognitive sciences to bear on key loci in Christian theology and theological anthropology. Together, these essays shed important new light on how distinctive aspects of human embodiment and our capacities for symbolic thinking can shape our ideas about God, our engagement with God, and our understanding of humanity's relationship to God. The book is engaging and accessible; and, focusing as it does on issues at the intersection of philosophy, theology, and the cognitive sciences, it is also richly interdisciplinary. -- Michael Rea, University of Notre Dame Cognitive linguistics offers incredibly helpful tools to understand what is going on in theological debates.
