| Zusammenfassung: | This article focuses on the possibility of salvation for the United States of America in light of COVID-19 and systemic racism through the practice of dreams, vision and imagination. I begin with an exploration of visions, dreams, and imagination as a gateway to holistic ways of knowing, being, and doing. Then, through a biblical analysis of apocalyptic texts from the books of Daniel and Revelation, I ground concepts of dreams, visions and imagination as ways through which salvation is realized. Finally, drawing on Wesleyan theology, womanist theological analyses, Jungian thought and practical theological resources, I discuss theological and practical means of salvation which underscore the need for continuous social and theological engagement and creative expression. |
