Early Christian poetry
This collection of papers focuses on the literary art of early Christian poetry in Syriac, Greek and Latin. It discusses both the techniques of this art and its theoretical foundation in the Christian use of classical literary traditions.
The Construction of Christian Poetry in Old English
Focusing on the works of Cynewulf, the Caedmonic school, and the great Beowulf-poet, John Gardner traces the development of Anglo-Saxon Christian poetic style. This latest contribution to a distinguished new series is a scholar-novelist-poet's analysis of allegorical modes in a few major poems from England's great age of allegory, the seventh century to, roughly, the eleventh. What John Gardner is out to understand and describe is not so much the "meaning" of particular poems--though his study inevitably deals, to some extent, with meaning and offers critical interpretations--but how the various kinds of Anglo-Saxon allegory work, what happens when several completely different kinds of allegory are brought together in one poem (as in Beowulf), and what it is that makes the different kinds of allegory not just intellectually but emotionally effective. Gardner asks the right questions from both the scholar's and the novelist's points of view, which turn out to be important for an understanding of the whole Anglo-Saxon poetic tradition.
The Guiding Light
These are poems written for the hearts that yearn after God. It all came about one day when God spoke to me and told me I was to write. I followed his instruction and The Guiding Light Christian Poetry book came about, a collection of poems that is a guide and a beacon of light for others to read and enjoy on their spiritual journey. I was never a writer or a poet and that is significant because I did not do it on my own. I did not choose. God chose me and he wanted me to share my experiences and my thoughts to connect with others who may be experiencing the same things and offer wise and nurturing words. Experience the Fathers uplifting encouragement, as these poems are all from my heart and are dedicated to God because he wanted me to communicate my beliefs and glorify him through poetry. He told me I was special and a work of art and I was to fulfill my purpose and my destiny and the sum of my days. You are sure to find a poem to suit your circumstances that will inspire, encourage and give you hope and when you need a reminder of Gods grace.
The Light in the Dark
In the fast-moving pace of the world in which we now live, oftentimes we find ourselves overwhelmed with troubles, trials, sorrow, and grief. A feeling of desperation to overcome these situations can lead us in the wrong direction. We all have experienced or seen that the world can be a cold, cruel place, and if we are trying to make it on our own, we are destined to fail. The Light in the Dark is a heartfelt, soul-wrenching collection of poetry filled with hope, love, a promise for eternity sublime, and the poignancy of the pain and detrimental effects that can be inflicted by society. These poems touch on a vast array of emotions, situations and environmental conditions that can easily inf...
The Turning Aside
The Turning Aside is about stepping out of our routines--like Moses turning from tending sheep, like a certain man selling his everything to buy a field--to take time to consider the ways of God in the company of some of the finest poets of our time. Turn aside with such established poets as Wendell Berry, Les Murray, Luci Shaw, Elizabeth Jennings, Richard Wilbur, Dana Gioia, and Christian Wiman--and respond to their invitation for us to muse along with them. Walk with poets from various parts of the planet, even though some of them are less known, whose words have been carefully crafted to encourage us in our turning aside. The Turning Aside is a collection of Christian poetry from dozens of the most spiritually insightful poetic voices of recent years. It is a book I have long dreamed of compiling, and it has grown beyond my mere imagining in its fulfillment.
Poems, Piety, and Psyche
Confronting the crisis facing Christianity, this anthology of post-modern, progressive Christian poems, with a rebellious tone, demythologizes Christian theology. Poems, Piety and Psyche is a brave departure from literal Christian dogma and challenges the outdated ideas of doctrine and Scripture to disclose hidden truths still valid today. This volume is an attempt to revitalize the church and reshape its future for current congregations and the missing generation of young people, scientifically literate, who are exiled from the church through its inability to absorb contemporary teaching of biblical criticism, the reality of evolution, the false idea of a God "up there," and an institutiona...
