T.J. Gorringe proposes a theology of the senses. Corringe argues that the senses are what allow us to explore the world we are given. God chooses this form of reality and endows us with senses to celebrate and explore the mystery and magic of God's own creation. Gorringe demonstrates that, in small ways, each of our lives is the excersise of creativity in which God delights, and we are expected to use our gifts. Our senses are part of the radical imaginative gifting of God. We respond in gratitude by using them, Gorringe says, and in doing so, the Spirit prays, knows, and celebrates through us.
