The Imagination – A Noble Faculty
Often among modern evangelicals the importance of the God-given faculty of the imagination is downplayed. William Symington, for one, thought somewhat differently of it:
“Imagination is one of the noblest faculties with which man has been endowed; a faculty, indeed, the sound and proper use of which is not only necessary to the existence of sympathy and other social affections, but also intimately connected with those higher exercises of soul, by which men are enabled to realize the things that are not seen and eternal.” – William Symington {Covenanter}
G.M.
