This book presents a historically and critically nuanced study of
George Herbert's biblical poetics. Situating Herbert's work in the
context of shifting ideas of biblical mystery, Gary Kuchar shows
how Herbert negotiated two competing impulses within
post-reformation thought-two contrary aspects of reformation
spirituality as he inherited it: the impulse to certainty,
assurance, and security and the impulse to mystery, wonder, and
wise ignorance. Through subtle and richly contextualized readings,
Kuchar places Herbert within a trans-historical tradition of
biblical interpretation while also locating him firmly within the
context of the early Stuart church. The result is a wide ranging
book that is sure to be of interest to students and scholars across
several different fields, including seventeenth-century studies,
poetry and the bible, and literature and theology.
