This anthology of over a hundred poems written by Calvinists is a surprising introduction to the aesthetics of the Reformed tradition. Who knew there was such a host of Calvinist poets?

Containing notes and short biographies to aid your enjoyment, this collection is the perfect starting point for appreciating these men and women -- and the faith that inspired their words.

"Calvinists have had a great many negative things said over the years about their lack of artistic soul.... Not surprisingly, I believe this caricature to be grotesquely unfair. Because the proof is in the pudding, I thought the best thing to do would be to assemble a collection of poems by various Calvinists, and let you all, members of the fair and open-minded public, have a look at them." ~ from the editors

Excellent poetry!

I loved the poetry you chose and the short biography of each author. Thank you for including some of the lesser known works of famous authors. I pick up this book often in my spare time and am always blessed. It’s one of my favorites to gift to new graduates. Thank you for this book.

A new treasure for my library

This collection is a new treasure for my reading and devotional time. In addition to the poem selections, I greatly appreciate the brief bios of the authors and interpretative helps.
