In Imagining and Reimagining the Restoration, Robert A. Rees embarks on an imaginative and profound exploration of Latter-day Saint theology and culture. Through essays, poems, and midrashic interpretations, Rees sheds new light on foundational doctrines, the roles of prophetic imagination, and the divine narratives within the Restoration. He reexamines figures like Joseph Smith and Heavenly Mother, urging readers to embrace a creative and expansive faith perspective that transcends mere tradition.
This captivating work brings readers into a visionary discourse that emphasizes the power of imagination as a spiritual gift. With poetic interludes and scholarly insight, this volume is a transformative invitation to both imagine and reimagine faith, theology, and cultural belonging.
“While our imaginations might be unleashed by contemplation of the creations of our Creator and by the implications of the Restoration midwifed into the world through the Prophet Joseph, it may help us also to consider more proximate examples of faithful master imaginers. The life and writings of Robert Rees, including the creative poetic and midrashic compositions of his own imagination that punctuate this volume, comprise a striking case study. He is an uncommon person who has lived an uncommon life and written with uncommon reach and imagination. There is scarcely a significant aspect of the Restoration on which he has not made creative public comment, often in print. Yet more rare, he has, in the pages that follow, contemplated imagination itself: a provocation to me and, I hope, to you.” —Philip Barlow, Associate Director, Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship, Brigham Young University
Until his recent retirement, Robert A. Rees was Director of Latter-day Saint Studies and Visiting Professor at Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. He is the cofounder and vice president of the Bountiful Children’s Foundation, a humanitarian organization that addresses malnutrition among children in the developing world, as well as the cofounder and president of FastForward for the Planet, a nonprofit foundation designed to unify the faiths of the world in addressing climate change and earth stewardship.
