What is it about a story that has the power to change a person, through a person a society, and through a society the world?

It is that through story and the faculty of imagination, we connect and engage with something outside of ourselves. We can see through a lens not our own and experience circumstances not ours. This issue explores the role story plays in imaginative apologetics, explaining the Christian truth, through a collection of both essays an stories.
