That’s just my box talking: theology and creativity
Practically speaking, a lot of Christians think of theology like a box.
They think it forms the walls and lid for our minds and souls. The box shelters us from evil. Creativity — thinking outside the box — represents some kind of disruptive assault on all that is right and good.
