Olivier-Thomas Venard's Thomas d'Aquin poète théologien trilogy, an in depth analysis of the scripture of St. Thomas Aquinas, is translated for a new audience in this streamlined anthology. Featuring selections from all three books in the trilogy, chosen in accordance with Venard's direction and discernment, it introduces not only arguments pertinent to the theme of this volume, but an invitation to explore the full breadth of Venard's work. Concentrating on the subjects of scripture, theology and literature, language as a theological question and the word of God, Murphy and Oakes capture the scope and energy of Venard's trilogy while collating many of its key passages. Ranging from the themes of a poetic gospel and Christology to the Thomist theories of semiology and the metaphysics of the Word, this volume sets scholars on the path to a deeper understanding of Aquinas's systematic theology.

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.

What do you think about when someone mentions Easter? The Easter Bunny and brightly colored eggs? Wonderful sales on clothing? Special deals in your favorite restaurant? The first Easter two thousand years ago was not celebrated by hordes of people as if it were just another holiday. On this day, Jesus of Nazareth found his disciples frightened and tearful. The followers of Jesus Christ were recovering from the sadness that they had felt at the horrific manner in which Jesus had been beaten, humiliated, and crucified. Jesus' disciples were afraid for their own lives, having seen their Lord crucified on the cross like a common criminal who deserved the death penalty. The enemies of Christ were jubilant because they thought that they had wiped out the Jesus movement, the nascent Christianity that had emerged in the land. Shouts of "Crucify Him! Crucify Him" still rang in the ears of many. Who would have thought that the first Easter would become so central in the history of the world? Some Christians have willingly given up their lives to celebrate the first Easter. In this collection of poems, H. C. Kim focuses on the immediate events leading up to the first Easter and ponders the resurrection message.

The words of Jesus Christ are restored to their original poetic form in this extraordinary volume. Jesus Christ, whose teachings have been on the lips of millions for two millennia, is revealed here as one of the greatest poets of all time. What happened to deafen us to the poetic nature of his words? In migrating from Aramaic speech into written Greek translation, and later into English translation, the lyrics got locked up as prose. In The Poems of Jesus Christ Willis Barnstone unveils the essential poetry of the Gospels by taking the direct speech of Jesus from Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John, and lineating and titling Jesus’s words as individual poems. Jesus’s poems are wisdom lyrics and narrative parables, rich with garden, animal, and nature imagery. Austere and poignant, they carry the totality of the Gospels’ message through the intensity of a single voice––the Gospel of Jesus.
