Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of poems reflect religious experience. Written from a basically Christian standpoint or embodying a Christian point of view, they tell readers about the subtly changing pattern of Christian beliefs over almost 1000 years and the varied interpretations of religious thought and experience. There are more than 150 poems, ranging from cheerful medieval verse parables to the works of Milton, Blake and Herbert, Hardy and Hopkins, to T.S. Eliot, Roy Campbell, Ted Hughes and others.
