What does the imagination have to do with being human? What does it mean to be made in the image of the Creator? Is the imagination an ‘idol making faculty’ designed for us to live in false realities of our own making? Or might the imagination have a more substantive role in figuring out ‘the good life’, or what it means to be human?
On Thursday, 18 January 2023 at 1400 UTC, Dr Ted Turnau, Chair of Journalism and Media Studies at the Anglo-American University in Prague, Czech Republic, will take a deep dive into what the imagination is, what it is for, and what it has to do with living a full human life. He will argue that a life of faith depends on the imagination, on the ‘eyes of the heart’ (Eph. 1:18), being able to see and feel differently. He will draw upon both the Bible and resources from literary theory and neuroscience to support his argument.
This talk is a continuation of his June webinar titled ‘Oases of the Imagination and Being Human‘. In preparation, take some time to view the previous conversation and register today!
