Oasis of Imagination

Engaging our World through a Better Creativity

About this book

What should creative Christian cultural engagement look like?

Too often, it has been marked by political strong-arming or fearful withdrawal into the "Christian bubble." There is another way: using our imaginations to plant 'oases' in the desert, breathable spaces that refresh, challenge, and draw together Christians and non-Christians alike. Oases refresh the soul, provoke discussion, challenge assumptions and lead the imagination to a new place.

In Oasis of Imagination, Ted Turnau lays out the Biblical mandate for engaging culture, and why the imaginative path holds promise. He explores the nature of the imagination from both Scripture and nature. He asks, "What does a Christian imagination that resonates with non-Christians look like?" He explores examples of Christian creativity done well from video games to movies to music to The Lord of the Rings.

He challenges the church, artist and non-artist alike, to be intentional about their own imaginative lives, how we can support each other, as together we engage in building bridges and being cultural ambassadors to the wider community.

In-depth and wide-ranging, Oasis of Imagination equips and encourages Christians, whatever their calling, to consider how to imaginatively enter into the broader cultural conversation.
