“The Earth Gods” is a 1931 work by poet and philosopher Kahlil Gibran. Gibran Khalil Gibran (1883–1931) was a Lebanese-American poet, writer, and visual artist most famous for his book “The Prophet” (1923), which remains one of the best-selling and most-translated books ever written. His work dealt with a variety of themes including justice, science, free will, love, the soul, happiness, the body, death, etc.; and are characterised by an unmistakable use of symbolism and melancholic style. First published in the year of his death, “The Earth Gods” revolves around a discourse between three gods (First God, Second God, and Third God) who proceed to discuss a range of spiritual concepts. “The Earth Gods” is a classic example of Gibran's mystical prose that will not disappoint those who have read and enjoyed other works by this seminal author. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

For the past two thousand years, Jesus Christ has been one of the greatest gifts and one of the greatest mysteries in the world. History is full of books and poems that honor and glorify Jesus, and many scholars have studied Jesus' teachings. In The Invisible Poet for the first time, Jesus Christ emerges not only as the Son of God but also as the greatest poet who has ever lived. This book studies Jesus' words in their original poetic form, the same form that the Disciples heard directly from Christ. Jesus Christ : The Invisible Poet examines Jesus' use of Hebrew poetic traditions in his parables and poetry, bringing a new understanding to the gospels and message of Christ. Now you can experience Jesus' teachings in their original, ancient tradition. Despite this proliferation of poetry throughout the Bible, readers rarely equate Scripture with poetry, perhaps because we are most accustomed to reading poetry written in the Western tradition. To the Western eye, Scripture initially appears more like prose than poetry, mainly because Scripture typically does not rhyme. Therein lies the key to missing Christ's importance as a poet. Jesus was a poet of Hebrew tradition; Jesus worked in the language of poetics and he used poetry to share his Gospel. This book concludes beyond question that Jesus is the greatest poet of all time, that he is the invisible poet in his parables and proclamations, working all the while within traditional Hebrew poetic structure. Jesus is indeed a personality who worked for the betterment of humanity. This book traces the Master in his use of every substantial form of Hebrew poetry. Having such a demonstration of poetic mastery, we may well inquire with the wondering throng at Jerusalem, when they heard the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. "How," said they, "does this Man know letters, having never learned.?" It is the perennial wonder of mediocrity in the presence of genius. Let us then not deny him this praise, which even his enemies were forced to concede. We may hail Jesus as the Man of Letters. In presenting the poems of Jesus, we may well begin with Matthew, for this Gospel professedly contains his Logia, set forth at length, and hence we may expect that here, if anywhere, the form will have been preserved. It would be unreasonable to look for the exactness that the original text might possess. However, a certain sympathy also exists between the English version and the more primitive language; that sympathy has tended to recover the balance of expression. In part, the sympathy is due to the tremendous influence of the Scriptures in the development of English speech; it also arises from the fact that the first crude rendition of the Scriptures into the common speech of the Anglo-Saxons was by certain wandering bards who chanted the story of the Christ, and thus associated the gospels with a melodic flavor that has characterized all subsequent versions. The conclusion on this subject is very simple and practical: despite the fact that much of its poetic essence has been lost over time, Christ's words can be studied today through the prism of poetry, on the level of theory. If we look at religious ceremonies and rituals of almost all Christian denominations and religious communities, we notice that believers in fact sing the verses of the gospel and Christ's words. No matter what the particular language is, or the translation, the essential nature of Jesus' legacy is a lyrical one. In any language, Jesus emerges as the greatest poet the world has known.

From the Psalms to the Prophets, from job to Ecclesiastes, much of the Bible is written in poetry. The poems of the Bible include some of its best known and most beloved passages: "The Lord is my shepherd," "Let justice roll down like waters," "By the rivers of Babylon," "Remember your Creator," "Arise, shine, for thy light is come!" These poems live in the hearts of those who are familiar with the Bible and offer rich rewards to anyone who is approaching the world's greatest book for the first time. In The Great Poems of the Bible, Harvard scholar James Kugel presents original translations of the most beautiful and important poems of the Scripture. Taken together, these poems represent the very essence of the Hebrew Bible. Reading them one after another is like taking a guided tour through Scripture, meeting firsthand some of its most important teachings and opening the way to an understanding of the Bible as a whole. Each poem is accompanied by an eloquent and accessible explanation of the poem's language, and a reflection on its meaning. These learned, compact essays introduce readers to the broader spiritual world of ancient Israel. What did people in biblical times believe about God? Where is a person's soul located and what does it do? Is there an afterlife? How does one come to "know" God? Why wasn't Eve meant to be Adam's "helpmate" (Kugel shows how this was just a translator's slip-up), and what does the Bible have to say about the role of women? Kugel's sparkling translations of the poems, together with the fascinating insights that accompany them, distill the very best that the Bible and modern scholarship have to offer. Kugel brings new life to some of history's greatest poems, and offers a new look at a Bible we thought we already knew. Here, in one volume, is a "Bible's bible" that belongs in every home.

Poems to the Child-God is the first full-length study in English of the verse of Surdas, or Sur, traditionally ranked among the three greatest poets writing in Hindi. Combining introduction, critical study, and annotated translation in a single volume, this work introduces the general reader to a major sixteenth-century mystic poet, best known for his lyrics in praise of the child-god Krsna (Krishna), and proposes, to both specialists and general readers, a way of reading Sur's verse significantly different from that found in traditional critical approaches. A general introduction provides an overview of the poet’s life and time, the religious and literary milieu that informed his work, and the mythology associated with his chosen deity, Krsna. Part 1 looks closely at individual verses from the Sursagar, examining the ways in which the poet manipulates the structures of language, poetic convention, and mythology to develop a theme central to the literature of Krsna-worship: the irony of incarnation. It is, Bryant argues, the irony of a child who never stops growing, beyond manhood and into godhood, seldom glimpsing the still more awesome truth: that he is and has always been the source and substance of the universe. Part 2 presents an anthology of Sur’s verse in English translation. The poems have been arranged to portray the Krsna tale as Sur understood it. Sectional introductions provide the reader with the classical outlines of the tale and point out where the poet made alterations or embellishments of his own. A set of notes on the translations, and a glossary of potentially unfamiliar terms and characters, further assist the Western reader in approaching the work of a major figure in the religious and literary history of India. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1978.

Follow Andrew Klavan to a deeper, richer understanding of the words of Jesus. Andrew Klavan believed what he read in the Gospels, but he often struggled to understand what Jesus really meant. So he began a journey of wrestling with the beautiful and often strange words of Jesus. He learned Greek in order to read the Gospels in their original languages, and he vowed to set aside any preconceptions about what the Scriptures say. But it wasn't until he began exploring how some of history's greatest writers wrestled with the same issues we confront today--political upheaval, rejection of social norms, growing disbelief in God--that he found a new way of understanding what Jesus meant. In The Truth and Beauty, Klavan combines a decades-long writing career with a lifetime of reading to discover a fresh understanding of the Gospels. By reading the words of Jesus through the life and work of writers such as William Wordsworth and John Keats, Mary Shelley and Samuel Taylor Coleridge--the English romantics--Klavan discovered a way to encounter Jesus in a deeper and more profound way than ever before. For readers seeking to find renewed meaning in the words of Jesus--and for those who are striving for belief in a materialistic world--The Truth and Beauty offers an intimate account of one man's struggle to understand the Gospels in all their strangeness, and so find his way to a life that is, as he says, "the most creative, the most joyful, and surely the most true."

"The Greatest Poem Of All Time" is self explanatory in defining how the greatest poems of all time are created. The 70 poems in this were created according to the definition described in "The Greatest Poem Of All Time." "Don't You Want A Better World" was written with a tune in mind, and for the purpose of appealing to people and their emotions, spirit and will for a better World; the poem / song also defines fundamental ways to have a better World based on the human rights neighbor loving commands given directly by God through Moses and as explained by Christ. Most of the poems are short and easy to understand with the contemplated idea of each poem simply confirming foundational observations of the human spirit's interaction with the one proven God of hope and comfort in resurrection from the dead and with the Spirit of forgiveness. Human beings deal with many misconceptions in the political and religious arenas, and man of the poems here attempt to clarify general misconceptions in favor of peace and sound mindedness over stress and strife. I hope the poetry can help add some extra perspective to life, and help be an escape from monotony, confusion, and discomforting times in this World, and will compliment the survival desire everyone instinctively has to want a better World, help to birth various ideas in people of how to make a better World, and also will inspire people to want the perfect World Christ showed us He can give in the everlasting 2nd life.
