Bøger af Kevin J. Gardner

Although a steadfast proponent for Christianity and the Church, Gardner explains, poet John Betjeman nevertheless struggled mightily to believe the faith, and he was forthcoming with his own spiritual failures. In this study of his writings, Gardner demonstrates his works to be a vital part of Anglicanism's living traditions.

John Betjeman is arguably the most important voice of faith and culture in the twentieth century. This collection contains the best of Betjeman's essays, journalism, and other prose of a religious nature. The vast majority of these pieces have never been reprinted or anthologized.

Sir John Betjeman was one of the twentieth century's great makers of the Christian imagination. He used his formidable gifts for poetry to show us how to think about the Anglican faith and about Englishness, and Christianity in general. This is an anthology of about 75 poems on religious themes, with footnotes and an introduction.
