Praying the Gospels through Poetry
Lent to Easter
Peggy Rosenthal
"Peggy Rosenthal's book demonstrates beautifully how a good poem shortens the distance between the reader and the Gospels. Through well-chosen examples, Rosenthal shows how a religious poem, being itself a concrete response to the Word of God, can deepen the reader's own understanding and living of the Gospel."—Fr. Murray Bodo, O.F.M.
PEGGY ROSENTHAL, PH.D., is the author of many books and articles on poetry and Christianity, including The Poets’ Jesus: Representations at the End of a Millennium.
