Imagination beeinflusst unser Leben und Erfahren in vielfältiger Weise.

No religion without imagination! The contributors to this volume look at a broad range of subjects and theories concerning a previously unjustly neglected category in religion and religious studies. Imagination the human ability to form mental images or to envision things influences our lives and experiences in many ways, for the most part without our realizing it. It is part of our subjective awareness, our collective consciousness especially in religious matters. The contributors to this volume offer a wide range of subjects and theories on the central role imagination plays in religions and their sensual embodiments. It presents a number of examples from various cultures as well as the numerous theories behind them, showing imagination to be a heretofore unjustly neglected category in religion and religious studies.
