Tradition and Imagination - Brown, David (Canon of Durham Cathedral, and Van Mildert Professor of Divinity, Canon of Durham Cathedral, and Van Mildert Professor of Divinity, University of Durham)

Revelation is seen as a gift from God given only once. Challenging this idea, this book examines the effect cultural development has on religious belief, narrative, and art. Exploring the nature of the relationship between historical and imaginative truth, it argues that post-canonical traditions have functioned as enrichments of religious belief.
