Reviews

This wide-ranging book offers a valuable exploration of a series of important topics relating to aesthetics and the imagination, which have been under-represented hitherto in the literature of science and theology. It advances our comprehension of the subject-matter of scientist and theologian alike, and can be thoroughly recommended. Michael Fuller, The Expository Times
