"William Dyrness's bold invitation to a poetic theology shaped by
Scripture, tradition, and imagination -- one luring us toward a
fuller participation in beauty than argument or concept alone allow
-- reminds us that truth itself is beautiful to behold and poetic
to the core. . . If poetry is in its deepest reflex an
intensification of life, then Dyrness's call for a poetic theology
is one we ignore at our peril, reminding us that faithful living is
not only about proper thinking but also -- and, perhaps, more
properly -- about the texture of our living and the quality of our
loving." Cornelius van der Kooi
-- Free University, Amsterdam
"Makes a strong case for aesthetics as one of the avenues used by
God to draw human beings near to him and his glory. . . A wonderful
journey through Reformed spirituality and a wake-up call for
Reformed theology."
