Scripture : the Word beneath the words -- Liturgy : the Word between the words -- Sacrament : the Word transforms the world -- Conclusion: Christ alive and loose in the world.
Summary:
"Malcolm Guite sets out to show how his Christian faith informs and underpins his poetry, and in turn how poetry itself--and, more widely, the poetic imagination--helps him to understand and interpret his faith. After a brief introduction outlining a theology of Christ as the Word, the essential logos or meaning that underlies all things, short chapters are offered on Scripture, liturgy, and sacrament, each understood as a kind of poetry capable of transfiguring our vision and transforming our lives"--back cover.
