Deifying Vision: Reclaiming an Anagogical Imagination - Hardcover

by James McCullough (Author), Philip Krill (Foreword by)

The anagogical sense of Scripture is that which identifies the ways in which the church's participation in its heavenly existence is expressed and taught. Anagogical interpretation highlights the eschatological tension between the "now and not yet" of the experience of redemption but gives this tension an unapologetic priority over the way it is too often relegated to the backroom of "last things." The book introduces and explores the anagogical imagination as the capacity to live in this tension while appropriating more consciously the fullness of one's ascended identity in Christ.
