Other People's WordsOther People’s Words Episode 7: “Behind Each Number, One Beloved Face,” by Malcolm Guite
“One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.” Versions of this quote, sometimes attributed to Joseph Stalin in 1947 or a French diplomat or German satirist in 1925, depending on who you ask, succinctly explains the numbness that the world feels at the death toll from the COVID-19 pandemic, which stands at 2,285,048 at the time of this recording, according to the World Health Organization.
What is the opposite of losing the forest for the trees? We are bombarded with these numbers every day and the death of one person can seem…well, unimportant to us. But it is...

Is the imagination inferior to logic and reason or is it a needful aspect in our engagement with contemporary culture? Consider the incredible popularity of the movies and TV drama series. We are storytellers, image bearers of our Creator, who delight in creating, whether it be stories, buildings, automobiles, or works of art or literature, we are constantly using our imagination, often without thinking about it.On this episode of Apologetics Profile, Watchman staff apologist Daniel Ray speaks with p...

We turn God into a bunch of propositions and put him back up into some intellectual realm. He's always getting past that and coming back to us. One of the ways I think, in our age, that God does that is through the arts. Because I think our age is...

Years of inhabiting these roles has led him to the belief that we're relying far too much on reason and thought in the formation of our faith, and are overlooking the significance of the 'poetic imagination'. He believes that we can find deep truth in the imagination and that poetry can bring our faith alive in a way that nothing else can. It's a fascinating and hope-filled conversation!
