Grasping the Meaning of the Term 'Holy Imagination' alongside with Dorothy L. Sayers and C. S. Lewis

Original language description

The aim of the article is to offer a possible way to the theme of imagination in relation to Christology, Trinitology and the theme of holiness with the help of C. S. Lewis and Dorothy L. Sayers. This concept is opened by explaining distinction between the primary and the secondary imagination according to the romantic poet and critic S. T. Coleridge. Noting that the article will deal with the primary imagination, the text proceeds to describe the role of the imagination in the Christian life. This part of the article shows that the phrase &apos;holy imagination&apos; is necessary since there can be various ways of imagining the world and also different attitudes towards the imagination itself. The following Trinitarian account of the imagination is then developed in line with the ideas of Dorothy L. Sayers and allows us to demonstrate that the imagination is basically Christological. C. S. Lewis then helps us demonstrate concrete moments of the holy imagination according to the basic Christological movement of kenosis. The last part of the article illustrates how this attitude is relevant to Christian spirituality and evangelisation.
