To promote singing, and a stronger sense of community, THE SONG OF
LUKE retells the gospel story as a poem arranged in stanzas of four
lines with lines of four beats, rhyming every other line, a ballad
form called long meter. The poem retains the meaning of
conventional versions of the story of Jesus, while offering
suitable texts for musical settings of the entire gospel or any
passage of particular interest. The text does not include any of
the false and sinful condemnations of Jews which have historically
contributed to the practice of eliminationist anti-semitism. The
crucifixion of Jesus is shown as the assertion of Roman power, with
the collusion of certain religious authorities, within the context
of a cosmopolitan community. In all other respects it is a text for
singing that is "congruent" with holy scripture, as advised in The
Book of Common Prayer.
