Abstract:

The semiotics of the Christian imagination describes the repository of signs
and the logic of signification through which a community of faith envisions
spiritual truths. This book analyses various examples in text, images, music,
art and scientific treatise of the imaginative semiotisation of the fall of
Man and the Church's semiotic perception of the Divine plan for Redemption.

The book includes a chapter detailing the theory of signs, based on a close
reading of primary sources, and has nine further chapters on the
meaning-making inherent in ideas of the Fall and Redemption of mankind. These
are filtered through and given material representation by the semiotic
paradigms of various cultural fields, including philology, verbal arts and
science.

Central to this practice - and to the book's message - are two themes of
theological semiotics fundamental to man's understanding of himself in the
larger scheme of things. Two of these include the theology of the Fall and a
sacramental theory of signs. The theory is grounded in the doctrine of
analogy, and this is the only reliable cognitive link between the immanence of
the thinking subject and the transcendence that is the object of thought.
