This anthology provides some of the finest Christian verse written during the second millennium of Christianity. It offers a balanced cross-section of nearly seventy Christian poets, representing various time periods, nations and denominations.

All of the great ones are here: Hildegard of Bingen and Francis of Assisi from the twelfth century; Dante and Chaucer from the High Middle Ages; Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross and John Donne from the Reformation; English and American Romantics such as Browning and Whittier; late nineteenth-century mystics like Dickenson and Hopkins, as well the great converts of that period like Newman and Chesterton; and, T. S. Eliot speaking out of and int our own times.
