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 A Poem of Passion Christ and the Cross by : Val Tiernan
Download or read book A Poem of Passion Christ and the Cross written by Val Tiernan and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extremely informative and highly descriptive word picture written in poetic verse in order to make the reader fully aware of all that Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, endured. He did this so that mankind might live eternally in paradise, a world of indescribable, great beauty permeated with peace and love. This world was created by none other than He who designed and brought the universe into existence, the Father God and Almighty Creator of all that exists: the Great I Am. The book will also enlighten the reader as to how minute he really is compared to the universe in which we live, that which God created. Yet, he or she is more important to God than all of the vastness of creation; he or she is the very culmination of all that God created and therefore is greatly treasured as well as loved.
Download or read book The Passion Poem written by John Kearney and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: May the peace of God guard and keep you in the testimony of Jesus Christ. The book you have in your hands was written over the course of six years. Part of the reason that it took so much time to write is that I am disabled with bi-polar manic depression and hyper compulsive disorder. At the time of this writing I am still receiving counseling from my psychiatrist, Dr. Robert Roddy, who has worked with me for many years to help me become stabilized. I wrote this poem as an expression of gratitude for what the Lord has done for me and to give tribute to Christ for his passion. It is the love of Christ that has saved me from a life of extreme trail and struggle. I would like to thank you my pastor, Steve Gilman, for helping to shape the poem into what it is today. When I first wrote the poem it rhymed, but had no meter, so Pastor Gilman helped me to put it into the metered verse that you find in this final version. Finally, it is my hope that others with disabilities who read this may come away with a renewed sense of possibility. Christ has worked with me through my disability and gives me hope. My prayer is that you will come to know that hope for yourself.John KearneyJohn Kearney lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. He attends both First Baptist Church and Mercy Seat Lutheran Church. In his free time he loves to ride his bike and spend time with his grown daughters. This is his first book.

Book Synopsis Sonnets of the Cross: the Via Dolorosa by : John Patrick Mcdonough
Download or read book Sonnets of the Cross: the Via Dolorosa written by John Patrick Mcdonough and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "John McDonough, through his poetry and words, has the unique gift of reconciling the redemptive gift of God with the trials associated with the human condition. His words are transforming and powerful beyond measure." -- Bob Ladouceur, Religious Studies Instructor, Football Coach, De La Salle High School. "A Pieta in Poetic Form" You will never look at the Stations of the Cross the same way. These beautiful sonnets tell the story of Jesus' passion and death from the perspective of Jesus, His loved ones, and those witnessing events unfold. Rather than focusing on the specific details of the crucifixion, though these details are included, they focus on the symbolism and meaning of each event. This evokes the emotional impact of the moment in a way that makes each event more real and contemporary. You feel as if you have been transported back 2000 years, walking the path with Jesus and his Mother. "John McDonough's sonnets employ a rare and difficult verse form, the heroic crown of sonnets, to offer a moving contemporary perspective on the traditional Catholic devotion of the Way of the Cross. The rich language and evocative drawings invite us to reflect on the Passion of Christ, and on the constant presence of sin and grace in our own lives." ---Father Michael G. Ryan, St. James Cathedral, Seattle These moving and beautiful Stations of the Cross were created in the form of a Heroic Crown of Sonnets. The Heroic Crown of Sonnets is a challenging type of poetry. The first line of each sonnet is tied to the last line of the preceding sonnet. The fifteenth sonnet consists of the first line of each of the proceeding fourteen sonnets. The accompanying art adds a moving visual dimension. The poet has personally walked the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem, and has a powerful ability to make profound connections between key social justice issues of today and the suffering experienced by Jesus Christ. Drawing from life experiences to which many can relate, he presents some of the most moving meditations on the Stations that you will ever read, making the stations and Christ's journey compelling for readers today. The sonnets reflect and meditate on themes in response to Christ's life that resonate with themes we have heard voiced by our beloved new Pope Francis. They comfort those who are mourning loss: loss of life, loss of strength and ability in a family member, the loss of faith in our world when we witness blatant and overpowering injustice, by drawing parallels to Christ's suffering, and the suffering of the people and family who witnessed this. How painful it is when those we love grow weak and fall, when those we love are treated unjustly. The author portrays the deeply felt suffering of Jesus' mother Virgin Mary in ways emotionally evocative of the Pieta. Jesus' love for the women who witnessed his walk to the crucifixion shines through as well as his gentle but painful acceptance of his fate. We see Mary as a mother who must endure watching her beloved son's death, and the compassionate Christ feeling her grief more sharply than His own. A 91-year old recent widow, who lost a son years ago to a tragic accident, commented "I just completed reading the sonnets of the Cross, and I am blown away by the depth and beauty of them. I will read them every day of Lent." The illustrations evoke a rare depth of emotion, a connection to the space and time that brings us into the scene. They were created for this book by David McDonough, the author's brother, who is a Vietnam veteran, and an accomplished artist living in Longview, WA. The Sonnets add a new, evocative, and compassionate perspective to your experience of walking with Jesus on the road to Calvary. The Stations of the Cross are a devotion during the Lenten season that precedes Easter Sunday.
Book Synopsis The Poetry of Immanence by : Robert Whalen
Download or read book The Poetry of Immanence written by Robert Whalen and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this extensive study of two of the most celebrated seventeenth-century religious poets, Robert Whalen examines the role of sacrament in the formation of early modern religious subjectivity. For John Donne and George Herbert, sacramental topoi became powerful conceptual tools with which to explore both the intersection of spiritual and material aspects of human experience and their competing claims to Christianity. Whalen's argument builds upon his central idea of 'sacramental Puritanism, ' or the effort to cultivate a Calvinist sense of interiority through a fully ceremonial apparatus, and thereby to reconcile the potentially disparate imperatives of sacrament and devotion. Unique in its combination of current historiography and informed analysis, its attention to the sacramental features of Donne's 'secular' lyrics, and its advancement of sacramental thought as an important element of Renaissance English culture, The Poetry of Immanence illuminates a crucial dimension of the work of two major Stuart writers. In his comprehensive critical readings, Whalen offers a substantial contribution to the increasing study of religious themes and devotion in the literature of the early modern period.

Book Synopsis Gentle and Lowly by : Dane C. Ortlund
Download or read book Gentle and Lowly written by Dane C. Ortlund and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.
