Jesus Christ, whose teachings have been on the lips of millions for
two millennia, is revealed here as one of the greatest poets of all
time. What happened to deafen us to the poetic nature of his words?
In migrating from Aramaic speech into written Greek translation,
and later into English translation, the lyrics got locked up as
prose. In The Poems of Jesus Christ Willis Barnstone unveils the
essential poetry of the Gospels by taking the direct speech of
Jesus from Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John, and lineating and titling
Jesus's words as individual poems. Jesus's poems are wisdom lyrics
and narrative parables, rich with garden, animal, and nature
imagery. Austere and poignant, they carry the totality of the
Gospels' message through the intensity of a single voice--the
Gospel of Jesus.
