This work sets out to challenge those who want a more imaginative, "bigger" spirituality, freed from the straightjackets of much contemporary doctrine and ecclesiology. It is grounded on the conviction that current developments in science, psychology and the arts, far from undermining faith, have encourage a revived and radical orthodoxy. This is a book about creation, attacking the fundamentalism of both science and theology, and opening the way to a more risky but ultimately more profound and inclusive spirituality. Sara Maitland is a novelist and a feminist theologian.
