This is a profound, stimulating, and scholarly book. It expounds a liberal approach to theology (not that Brown uses such a label for himself), which takes both revelation and tradition as central to faith, which shows convincingly how imagination can be a positive vehicle of revelation, and which is exemplary in its explorations of how theology is developed in important ways by art and literature. This book, together with the earlier volume, is a profound study in what might be called the 'epistemology of faith'. To do it justice would require not a review but a point-by-point commentary.
How have the arrangement of biblical narratives over the centuries had an impact on the understanding and practice of discipleship?David Brown's Tradition and Imagination was described on its publication as 'an achievement unmatched by any British theologian for a long time' (Maurice Wiles). In this controversial sequel Professor Brown tackles questions about the presentation of biblical narratives over the centuries, and askswhether it has had an impact on our understanding of discipleship. He explores presentations of Job, the biblical Marys, heaven, and the saints to argue that the Church went beyond purely scriptural ideas to keep the life of Christ continually relevant to a changing society. This book includes newattitudes to suffering and sexual equality, and concludes with arguments for a new way of understanding Bible and Tradition. Professor Brown shows in his consistently open and sensitive way that not only does conflict exercise a creative role in the search for truth, but that the most important typeof truth, far from being narrowly historical, is in fact imaginative.
