Description: "Occasionally there appears a religiously oriented work of such originality and obvious usefulness that one wonders why no one did it before. A stellar example is Chapters Into Verse, which Oxford University Press published in two volumes late last spring."--Publishers Weekly"Spiritually, stylistically and chronologically, the range is absolutely astonishing--so that, to cite one example, poetic images of the Creation by John Milton and by James Weldon Johnson run on succeeding pages."--Parade Magazine"Here is a work that should delight many literate hearts....It's hard to think why any English-language library wouldn't welcome and cherish this impressive anthology."--Booklist"To read these Scripture passages and the poems that follow them is to take an unusual, reflective journey through the Bible and through the history of English poetry. highly recommended."--Library Journal
