The Poetic Bible

Poetry, past and present, in praise of God and in response to the wonders of His creation, is a glorious heritage of beauty and inspiration.
In this collection of that heritage, an enormous range of literary styles, historical periods, and religious backgrounds is represented. There are works from poetic masters such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning, John Bunyan, John Donne, John Milton, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and Charles Wesley. The collection also includes contemporary lyricists such as Eugene Peterson and Madeleine L'Engle. From various eras and diverse backgrounds these poets respond to Scripture profoundly and imaginatively.
