Imagination isn’t just the realm of fantasy; it’s central to our spiritual formation and character development.

Davis brings the imagination back to its rightful place in Christian life.

By revisiting key works from the Christian tradition, Davis shows how the stories, symbols, and sacred art that capture our hearts shape our understanding of reality.

Addressing modern challenges like nationalism, consumerism, and political divisiveness, she calls for a reorientation of our gaze to the richer, more life-giving elements of Christian tradition.

Through engaging explorations of icons, sacred architecture, and literary masterpieces, this book invites readers into a vibrant spiritual journey.

With a 20-page insert of full-colour images, Becoming by Beholding is a feast for the eyes and the soul, perfect for anyone interested in the intersection of theology and art.
