The Existence of Literature and God
September 27th, 2004 | Published in Literature
“…People are most like God the Maker when they create a world [with] significant characters out of their imagination. The very existence of literature, then, even when it is abused, is a powerful apology [= defense] for the Christian doctrine of humanity and its creation in the image of God.”
-Donald T. Williams, “Christian Poetics, Past and Present” in The Christian Imagination (ed. Leland Ryken)
