Messianic Imagination: Politics, Theology, and Literature explores the intersections of political theology, apocalyptic vision, and literary engagement. Inspired by the work of P. Travis Kroeker, this festschrift invites readers into the vibrant and expansive horizon of Kroeker's messianic imagination. Organized into three sections--Engaging Messianic Politics, Extending Apocalyptic Theology, and Exploring Literary Revelations--the book offers a rich tapestry of thought. From political reflections on messianic hope to profound theological explorations and revelatory readings of literature, this volume demonstrates how theology and imagination are inseparably linked. More than a tribute, Messianic Imagination challenges readers to wrestle with urgent questions of justice, meaning, and transcendence. With contributions that spark curiosity and inspire tenacious thought, this book serves as both a response to Kroeker's legacy and an invitation to explore the transformative power of the messianic vision.
