The Sparkle from the Coal

Barbara Howard

Perhaps one of the least appreciated aspects of Rowan Williams is his theology of imagination. Seeking to fill this gap, this book explores the imaginative impulse operative in Rowan Williams' theology and poetry, which centres around the notion of 'divine desire', and the way in which imagination can reveal possibility even in the bleakest of circumstances.

Drawing on his poetic work as well as his theological writing, the book explores how Williams' theology leads us to a fresh understanding of the ways in which the renewing and enabling energy of the Holy Spirit is ever active, within and beyond the Church, in enabling human imaginations to cooperate with the divine energy of love in bringing creation to fulfilment.
