Baylor University Pressc20111 online resource (238 p.)Studies in Christianity and literature ;6Description based upon print version of record.1-60258-315-3 Includes bibliographical references and indexes.Introduction -- Prologue (John 1:1-18) -- Come and see (John 1:19-51) -- Life (John 2:1-4:54) -- Blinded (John 5:1-10:42) -- Glory (John 11:1-12:50) -- Looking forward (John 13:1-17:26) -- Seen (John 18:1-20:31) -- Epilogue (John 21:1-25). Thomas Gardner artistically describes Jesus-""the Word made flesh""-as a poem penned by God for the world, and John-author of the Fourth Gospel-as the poem's interpreter. John's structural patterns, repetitions, and narrative interventions invite readers to experience for themselves the beauty of the divine poem. John in the Company of Poets deepens this invitation by re-imagining the biblical text through the eyes of such artists as Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Wendell Berry, and T. S. Eliot, offering a literary reading of the Gospel based upon their powerful poetic replies.
