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 invites 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.

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 co-founder 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 co-founder and president of FastForward for the Planet, a non-profit foundation designed to unify the faiths of the world in addressing climate change and earth stewardship. Philip Barlow served as the Maxwell Institute's associate director and is a Neal A. Maxwell Research Associate. Having previously served as the Leonard J. Arrington Chair of Mormon History & Culture at Utah State University, his teaching engages religion and human suffering, religion and the concept of ""time,"" American religious history, and Restoration movements. His writings have contemplated belief (A Thoughtful Faith, editor), geography (the New Historical Atlas of Religion in America, with Edwin Gaustad), and scripture (Mormons and the Bible). His current projects focus on the problematic and promising meanings of ""the only true and living church"" as well as the notion of a ""war in heaven"" in the history of ideas, lore, and literature. He has served as president of the Mormon History Association.
