Can an understanding of the poetics of the Gospels, together with a reading of poetry inspired by them, make the homily an art form as compelling as a poetry performance? In Preaching the Poetry of the Gospels, Elizabeth Michael Boyle, O.P., offers a preaching guide to the Sunday Lectionary using the insights of poets to enliven and elicit more powerful homilies. Preaching the Poetry of the Gospels demonstrates that not only the Fourth Gospel but also the Synoptics can be read with special understanding when they are interpreted as narrative poetry. For each Sunday, from the first Sunday in Advent through Trinity Sunday, the author offers a poet's reflection on the literary devices in the liturgical texts, and a gathering of poems about the gospel event. Chapters are "Incarnation: Advent to Epiphany, " "Redemption: Ash Wednesday through Holy Week, " "Resurrection: The Sundays of Easter, " "Transformation: Ascension to Trinity Sunday, " and "Reclaiming the Poetry of Ordinary Time."

Preaching is an art, J. Barrie Shepherd argues, and the sermon is an art form, an exercise in creativity and imagination. But all too often preaching suffers from a lack of imagination and a loss of the joy and wonder that attracted the crowds to Jesus' words two thousand years ago. In this book, based on his 2003 Beecher Lectures at Yale Divinity School, Shepherd hopes to encourage the preacher toward a more creative vision for the sermon. His approach is spontaneous, eclectic, intuitive, and daring. Shepherd's purpose is to encourage the preacher to think of life as filled with God's presence, to search for the presence, and to use images and words to unveil that presence. The end result is a sermon that is full of astonishment and delight.

The Christian gospel, says Brueggemann, is too easily preached and heard. Too often technical reason and excessive religious certitude reduce the gospel to coercive, debilitating pietisms that mask the text's meaning and freeze the hearers heart. With skill and imagination, Brueggemann demonstrates how the preacher can engage in daring speech?differently voiced and therefore differently heard. This speech, as suggested by the Bible itself, is "poetic" speech, enabling the preacher to forge communion in the midst of alienation, bring healing out of guilt, and empower the hearer for "missional imagination." As an alternative to theological/homiletical discourse that is moralistic, pietistic or scholastic, Brueggemann proposes preaching that is artistic, poetic, and dramatic. The basis for the 1989 Lyman Beecher Lectures at Yale Divinity School, Finally Comes the Poet is a unique and transforming guide for powerful preaching.

It is tempting for preachers in this digital age of plurality and diversity to offer quick sound bites and PowerPoint-style presentations. These tend to invite a yes or no response, as in mathematical equations. But if we are to reach Christians across the theological spectrumandinvite non-Christians to seriously consider our faith, we must take a different approach. What is needed is greater attention to poetry and images meant to communicate the beauty of the faith and the wonder and mystery of God in everyday life. We must communicate the unity of our message of faith, the divine as truth, and justice and healing as expressions of God. Preaching as poetry (theopoetic preaching) allows for the bold imagery of scripture and the gentle invitation of art. Sermons can no longer always be neatly tied up, perfectly linear, with complete answers to every question. In Preaching as Poetry Paul Scott Wilson teaches why this new approach is necessary today, and demonstrates with multiple examples how it works in real sermons. He skillfully guides the reader to incorporate the classical values of beauty, goodness and truth in every sermon, and in ways that connect with congregants and listeners today.

This book of spiritual poetry consists of poems with scriptures, and theres a message in every poem to lift a souls spirit. The understanding of my past life in not being a good example to my neighbor in Jesus Christ caught me by the heart, and I was reborn on how to love my neighbor, trust in God, and establish a life with Christ. I am overwhelmingly blessed with this gift from heaven. As I acknowledge him to lead us in the battle, which comes our way, he stands before us in the war that is already won, and he strengthens the circle in which we stand. I pray within these poems that, at least, oneif not alltouches our heart and soul to prepare us for the kingdom of heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ.

"Has more beauty and tenderness and jolly tears than all the expensive sob stuff theatrical managers ever dreamed of. Mr. Lindsay doesn't need to write verse to be a poet. His prose is poetry - poetry straight from the soil, of America that is, and of a nobler America that is to be. You cannot afford - both for your entertainment and for the real idea that this young man has (of which we have said nothing) - to miss this book." -Collier's Weekly "Mr. Vachel Lindsay is the most joyous of literary tramps....He not only had a good time himself but was a welcome guest in the homes of many penniless but self-respecting mountaineers, and more than paid for his lodging by poem and story and music." -New Outlook "A walk which was particularly unique because it was made for the most part without baggage, and penniless. Sometimes, in exchange for board and lodging, this 'poet tramp' helped with the harvest, or did other tasks around house or farm; sometimes he traded rhymes for bread, like the minstrels of old. He was on friendly terms with everybody and everything - farmers, villagers, dogs, children, grasshoppers and flowers - except for an occasional farmer whose thoughts turned to skepticism rather than hospitality. The adventures are simply told, with much informal philosophy and comment, interspersed with blank verse and rhyme - the former having something of the blunt, Whitman quality that does not disdain even the commonest things as subjects for inspiration." -The Craftsman "He was the Evangelist of Beauty, preaching his gospel everywhere by reciting his verses." -The Bookman "The colloquial style of Nicholas Vachel Lindsay's 'Adventures While Preaching the Gospel of Beauty,' the diary of a summer's foot-journey from Illinois through Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico, suits the easy content. The book has a sociological interest, and if it procures many readers the author will have served his purpose less by his preaching than by the report he gives of social and cultural deficiencies in the rural West. But its main appeal is as a narrative in the Borrovian manner....The chapters on Kansas harvesting, dealing with the twelve-hour daily struggle against burning heat, fatigue, and thirst, have vivid episodes...express something of the panoramic splendor of the season on the plains." -The Nation "It gives, in prose, the story of his recent walk through the West as a harvest-hand, reciting for the farmers." -The Forum "An account of the author's trip from his home town, Springfield, Ill., through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico, to spread what he calls his 'Gospel of Beauty.'" -Country Life "Being the personal experiences of Nicholas Vachel Lindsay." -The American Review of Reviews

Full Gospel Poetry is a profoundly entertaining collection of poetic sermons which promote a deeper understanding of the Bible. Questions that will hopefully be answered include: Why did God the Son, Jesus take on a flesh body like ourselves? Since God our Father in Heaven is omnipotent, then why does He permit Satan, the devil to wreak havoc here on earth? Who were the Pharisees? Does God still heal today? What is the purpose of praying in tongues? How can you protect your mind from bad thoughts? Scripture verses are built right into the rhymes and present the reader with a purpose for researching said verses, while offering their explanation, thus encouraging Bible study.
