Book Synopsis Divine Inspiration by : Robert Atwan
Download or read book Divine Inspiration written by Robert Atwan and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is by far the leading source of inspiration for Western literature, and in particular, the life of Jesus has drawn the attention of artists and writers throughout the ages. Now, in a volume of astonishing range and originality, Robert Atwan, George Dardess, and Peggy Rosenthal present 280 remarkable poems from world literature focusing on Jesus's life and teaching. Readers accustomed to the predictable inclusions of many anthologies will be surprised and delighted by the diversity of poets represented here, from Aquinas, Dante, de Guevara, Donne, and Sor Juana, to D.H. Lawrence, Gabriela Mistral, Wole Soyinka, Margaret Atwood, Gwendolyn Brooks, Czeslaw Milosz, and Leopold Senghor. Perhaps no other thematically organized anthology could have brought together writers as different as Jorge Luis Borges, Thomas Merton, Alice Walker, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Jack Kerouac. Indeed, simply to turn the page in Divine Inspiration is an adventure in itself. And in terms of form, style, modulations of tone and perspective, the variety here is as unparalleled as it is unpredictable. The editors of Divine Inspiration have done a masterful job of unifying this vast assortment of poems. Organized chronologically around the life of Jesus, the book is divided into nine sections--from Birth and Infancy, through Healings and Miracles, to the Resurrection-- and presents passages from the Gospels followed by the poems they inspired. This structure gives readers the dual pleasures of a strong narrative pull punctuated by moments of lyric intensity. Our familiarity with the life of Jesus is thus enlivened, deepened, and in some cases wholly transformed by the imaginative power of the poems. In the largest section of the book, on the Passion of Jesus, we find an array of poems by Anna Akhmatova, Antonio Machado, Thomas Hardy, Miguel de Unamuno, Charles Baudelaire, R.S. Thomas, Andrew Marvell, Frederico Garcia Lorca, and Denise Levertov, among others. To see the Passion of Jesus refracted through the lenses of such poets is to see it anew, or more vividly than before. And to encounter Chinese, Korean, Nigerian, Arab, Latin American, Scandinavian, Hungarian, and Greek poets alongside English, French, and German is a testimony both to the editors' devoted scholarship and to the power of Jesus's life to inspire great poetry across a spectrum of cultures and eras. An invaluable sourcebook for students, scholars, and general readers alike, Divine Inspiration should prove equally satisfying to readers with a strong interest in religion and to all lovers of poetry.
Book Synopsis Jesus in the Power of Poetry by : Diarmuid O'Murchu
Download or read book Jesus in the Power of Poetry written by Diarmuid O'Murchu and published by Crossroad Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viewing prose as a limited way to convey the dream and spirit of the Gospels, this text instead relies upon the power of poetry to provide immediate access to a fresh, radical interpretation of the teachings of Jesus. The original work here separates itself from similar anthologies by showing an ability to rethink everyday faith through empowerment and liberation. O'Murchu uses language in its most direct form to accept the challenge of these prophetic teachings in the modern world. Through the unique freedom of poetry such as this, the full depth and vitality of these beliefs can be grasped and held by a new generation.

Book Synopsis Poetry from Christ by : June Pierce Hampton
Download or read book Poetry from Christ written by June Pierce Hampton and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems are from GOD, using June Pierce-Hampton as the messenger. It is so amazing, once the title for the poem was established; the words flowed from GODs spirit through her spirit onto paper. June was amazed after writing the poetry of the effect it had on her and others she read them to. After writing the poems, she decided to try and reference the poems with the Kings James Version of the Bible; they all were there! Every poem could be related to a Book, Chapter and Verse. In some cases, there were more than one or two scriptures that corresponded to some of the poems. This is GOD sent, GOD given and received for GODs proposes! The poetry in this book is for uplifting and giving one hope, security and happiness by believing and trusting in our CREATOR, and HIS SON, JESUS. Thus, June decided to name the manuscript POETRY FROM CHRIST.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poetry collection “Poems to Jesus Christ Volume III: The Holy Spirit” is about the spiritual journey of a man’s soul through his discovery of his gift for writing poetry when he experienced a spiritual awakening while he was teaching poor people in Asia. The poet went through a three-year-long depression trying to understand what God wanted him to do with his life after his return to America. The following poems were inspired during this rebirth of his talent, which brought out the best of his gift for poetry while making his faith in God stronger. This book completes the poet’s spiritual journey and his promise to Jesus Christ to write three books of spiritual poetry as a thank-you gift to Jesus Christ, God, and the Holy Spirit for always being by his side and saving his life so many times and helping him get out of his depression. The first book described to God the pain of the world, sadness, and sorrow. The second book included more happier and optimistic prayers written in poetic form. The third book completes the circle of happiness and evolution of the poet’s return to the world and to happiness, focusing on the beauty of life.

Download or read book God's Poems written by John Poch and published by St. Augustine's Press. This book was released on 2021-11-19 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry is exciting, but elusive to most. This is troublesome for Christians because the Bible, John Poch reminds us, is largely composed of poetical verse. In God's Poems, Poch re-introduces sacred text as purposefully poetic, and explains what that means and invites the reader to with this insight live more thoughtfully and beautifully. But that is not all. Poch as a well-established and regarded poet, turns his eye to contemporary poetry and vindicates its function in a "created and creative world." Today many have abandoned the genre as a wasteland of misguided voice that really has nothing to say. The poet is a truth-teller, and Poch as devoted writer, teacher, and believer sends out a renewed call to turn to verse as a means of seeing oneself as God's poeima, or poem (Letter to Ephesians). The depth of self-knowing relates directly to an aptitude to engage the category of poetry at some level. A tragic void is filled with Poch's effort to exhort the reader to patiently reconnect with poetry even though it has been hijacked by persons who want to be heard more than speak well. (This book is essential, therefore, for aspiring poets.) For faithful readers or those seeking to return, Poch is a place to begin to understand contemporary writers worth knowing and which poets of the past must remain with us. In Virgilian fashion, he can see the panorama behind him and that which lies immediately ahead and instills a recovered love of an eternal medium that will be restored to a state of coherency and enlightened perspective. If Poch has faith in poetry it is because poetry is indeed a source of faith. If Justin Martyr claimed that everything that is true belongs to Christians, Poch shows us that everyone who speaks truth is to some degree a poet. Even God with his revealed wisdom chooses poetry as medium par excellence. It is essential to know how poetry works. "Great poems that we consider literature give us what we never expected. They go beyond the usefulness of conveying a feeling and unveiling beauty; and they tell us who we are."
Book Synopsis The Bible and Poetry by : Michael Edwards
Download or read book The Bible and Poetry written by Michael Edwards and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh, provocative look at the link between poetry and Christianity, both as it relates to the Bible itself as well as to Christian and religious life, by an accomplished scholar. The Bible is full of poems. In the Old Testament, there are the Psalms and the Song of Songs, the great exhortations and lamentations of the Prophets, and passages of poetry woven in throughout. In the New Testament, Jesus describes the kingdom of heaven with poetic epithets such as “a treasure hid in a field,” calling the Son of God “the true vine,” “the light of the world,” “the good shepherd,” and “the way, the truth, and the life.” The Gospels reverberate with allusions to the poetry of the Old Testament; the last book of all is Revelation, a visionary poem. The Bible, in other words, asks to be read poetically from start to end, and yet readers have rarely considered what that might mean, much less heeded that call. In The Bible and Poetry, the poet and scholar Michael Edwards reshapes our understanding of the Bible and religious belief, arguing that poetry is not an ornamental or accidental feature but is central to both. He speaks personally of his early, unanticipated, transformative encounters with scripture. He offers close, insightful, and resonant readings of biblical passages. Poetry, as he sees it, is the vital and necessary medium of the Creator’s word, and the truth of the Bible is not a question of precepts and propositions but of a direct experience of its poetry, its power.
Book Synopsis God Speaks Through Wombs by : Drew Jackson
Download or read book God Speaks Through Wombs written by Drew Jackson and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Book Award Finalist But God speaks through wombs, birthing prophetic utterances. . . . Enough of this unbelieving religion that masquerades as faith. Divine favor is placed on what we have disgraced. In God Speaks Through Wombs, Drew Jackson explores the first eight chapters of Luke's Gospel in a new poetic register. These are declarative poems, faithfully proclaiming the gospel story in all its liberative power. Here the gospel is the "fresh words / that speak of / things impossible." From the Magnificat ("That girl can sing! . . . She has a voice / That can shatter shackles") to the baptism of Christ ("I stepped in / Committing insurrection"), this collection helps us hear the hum of deliverance—against all hope—that's been in the gospel all along.
