Glimpse of the Divine e-bog

Glimpse of the Divine aims to restore Christian poetry as a powerful and vibrant voice for change in our modern, rapidly developing world. Preferring traditional metered forms over free verse, this poetry collection draws deeply from the well of Christian literary tradition, especially the writings of Herbert, Rossetti, and Manley-Hopkins. Written by a Christian doctor who is familiar with the cultures of East and West, and both theology and science, the poems offer fresh and unique perspectives into multiple subjects. These range from the deeply personal struggles with life and its imperfections, to satirical and philosophical reflections on contemporary global issues including human warfare, impacts of colonization, and climate change. Although these writings, through diverse allegories, metaphors, and poetic forms, explore the breadth of human experience, they are ultimately grounded in the Scriptures and a strong faith in God, never ceasing to praise the "e;Father of all things true and beautiful."e;
