Believe in God Today: Experience, Imagination and Faith

Dr. David Tacey is the author of eight books and eighty-five published essays on spirituality, Jungian psychology and cultural studies.


We seem to be emerging from a time of disbelief in and refusal of the old image of God, and entering a new phase of culture, where the idea of God has become respectable again, but in an entirely new way. The literal understanding of God has been destroyed by science and philosophy, but intuition, the arts and postmodern philosophy are groping towards God in a new way. The key is to shift from the literal to the metaphorical domain, not because God is a fantasy or unreal, but because metaphor and symbol appear as the best possible expression of the unknown reaches of ultimate reality.
