IL POTERE TEOLOGICO DELLA LETTERATURA.

The theological power of Literature. Literature, and poetry in particular, aren't the only useful instruments of the expression of faith. The poetic language, which comes from the creative imagination, seems to be the most suitable to describe the mystery and the ineffable. For this reason beside the conceptual theology, the poetic dimension must be taken in the theological language again, above all in those register that express the human background more particularly. From all this an extraordinary theological "power" of the poetic word stands out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
