Two millennia ago a gifted poet in the Middle East composed the
Earliest Christian Hymnbook called the Odes of Solomon, that gifted
poet was the anonymous Odist who became the early poet laureate of
Christianity. The poetry, hymns and odes of the first followers of
Jesus are evidently present in the New Testament and this volume
translates The Odes of Solomon with some of the hymns being
obviously Christian while others perhaps Jewish. The beauty of
these poems is a tribute to the depth of spirituality in early
communities of Christians, some of whom were perhaps also Jews or
converted Jews. Professor Charlesworth offers an inviting
introduction and a translation of this work that is both engaging
and true to the original languages. Having studied the Odes since
1966, Charlesworth believes the Odist received unique spiritual
truths. His poetry explodes out of the genius of Jesus' Judaism and
the energy released upon those who experienced God's resurrection
of Jesus, there is a sense that the Odist lived on the highest
mountain peaks and shares with us his own moments of experiencing
God before a burning bush.
