With a special emphasis on twentieth-century poetry, Rosenthal draws from an unprecedented range of world poetry--from Africa, the Arab world, and the Far East to Latin America and the West--to give readers an understanding of how different times and different cultures have affected the way poets refigure Jesus and of how poets' fascination with the man from Nazareth transcends all barriers. Now, in this learned but lively commentary, Peggy Rosenthal shows us the astonishing range of poetic encounters with Jesus. She also demonstrates that, despite the twentieth century's self-definition as a secular and post-Christian epoch, it has produced poetry about Jesus of truly surprising quality and variety. Poets have always been the medium through which a culture talks of, and to, its gods. Impeccably researched and extremely accessible, The Poets Jesus will strongly appeal to scholars of poetry and religion as well as for all general readers of poetry.

Feeney, America"The Poets' Jesus engagingly proceeds more like a Cook's tour than an academic inquiry. This book is also, in passing, a swift overview of the last two centuries of Christian theology and Western culture." --Peter Steinfels, The New York Times"Rosenthal's range is ambitious. The subtitle is apt; for reading, for thinking, even for meditating, The Poets' Jesus is a millennial book."--Joseph J. The Poets' Jesus is brilliant in taking two limited areas--poetry and the figure of Jesus--and turning their intersection into a grand survey of intellectual history and the history of belief. With a keen sense of each poet's intellectual and theological context, Rosenthal not only probes the religious imagination but also studies--from obviously fresh sources--the history of theology and the history of belief.

I had some mixed feelings about this book. Great books, great variety of songs. I have never taken nor taught a course in public policy or political science, but this book might make a great complement in those fields as well.I intentionally chose the 16th edition because of price; used copies are selling for about $1 + shipping. Tracing from the enforced convict labour of the early days to 2010. Dr. It's not necessarily a "Kid's Bible", per se, but it does have lots of extra information in it throughout that makes it more of a good study Bible for older kids/young adults.. There is no one like Osho. I also appreciated the discussion of what one’s interpretative grid of the percentage means. There is a great gulf of information between these two topics that is left for other chapters that follow, if covered at all. These interviews show Huston's mental flexibility. He survived it all, amazingly, and was highly decorated - although recommended twice, he never received the Congressional Medal of Honor - which was probably due to AEF Headquarters politics. With I may add, many high-quality photos that I have never seen published before. There is simply no way anyone can be satisfied with such an imitation of a book especially when there are other books at
