Theology in Poetry

By A. Christian

No matter how good a spectacle,
we are condemned to miss
what is next to, around,
and in us.

It is not enough to “understand” about God. Instead, let yourself experience God through poetry. In Theology in Poetry, author A. Christian offers a collection of poetry and prose, presenting a Christian reflection on theology itself.

Through the selections, the author asks the questions: What do we know of God? Or perhaps, what do we think we know of God? A. Christian seeks to explore the things we cannot quite grasp by utilizing poetry and short stories in a way that offers something to our souls, and our hearts, and our stubborn skulls.

To the Teacher who has taught me all I

know for the past twenty-two years.

When consuming this art, I propose

that it would be wise to journey on the

skill set path that allows you to discern

what you agree with, what you disagree

with, what you ought to agree with,

and what you ought to disagree with.

Then, repeat.
