ABSTRACT
Present-day Christians continues to pay heed to how God might be speaking to us not only through the Bible and Church but also in the wider imaginative world where God continues to be at work, even if seldom adequately acknowledged. To see how such claims might be worked out in practice, the reader could turn either to author's five volumes written for Oxford University Press between 1999 and 2008,6 or, more quickly though on a narrower range of issues, to Parts II through IV of this work, where examples from the power of symbols, artists as theologians and meaning in religious architecture are all addressed. The final essay then returns to a theme already implicitly raised in the opening essay, the question of whether what is fed back from the arts need also in itself always be explicitly Christian.
