Recenzii
"... a fascinating cross-disciplinary study.... Gardner's collection represents a remarkable feat." -- Christianity and Literature (2011, 61:1)
"Thomas Gardner is immersed so thoroughly in the Gospel of John he enables readers to reenact John's thoughts just as the exemplar, Jesus, enacted God as His Word. Gardner moves the gospel beyond mere intellection, directing readers into contemporary poetry that enlivens the spoken Word and gains further entry for all into the substance of God in His mortal body. The masterful explication of the poems chosen by Gardner draws their texts, along with the reader, deep into the gospel's sometimes elusive significance so that, all in all, John in the Company of Poets stands as the best contemporary rediscovery of the gospel I have read." --Larry Woiwode, Poet Laureate of North Dakota and Writer in Residence, Jamestown College
"In setting poetry, most of it modern, beside texts from the Gospel of John, Thomas Gardner has made a moving proof that not only the Word but also the word, when it is searched out, weighed and savored, is full of grace and truth." --Marilynne Robinson, winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Gilead
"What would it be like to read the Gospel of John among the poets and to hear the incandescent and strangely clear music of that response? This book is the answer to this question. Gardner deepens our sense of what responding to 'the Word made flesh' might look like by showing how the words of John have been caught and held close by poets, each new voice wrestling into language what these words might mean in their own moment before releasing them to sing across time. A book for the classroom, the study, the pulpit, and prayer, John in the Company of Poets is almost too beautiful for words." --Esther Gilman Richey, Associate Professor of English Language and Literature, University of South Carolina
In Gardner's method, reception history, intertextuality, and hermeneutical analysis become one. -- Chene Heady, Longwood University -- Religion and the Arts 18
Gardner proves that John and Jesus are nothing less than the finest poets, and that good readers must understand this if we are to have a rich encounter with words, let alone the Word of God. For this reason, Gardner's book is worthwhile and of the greatest value. -- John Poch, Texas Tech University -- Religion & Literature
Gardner's book is a delightful read, combining the best of a non-technical commentary with engaged poetical insight. It makes for thoroughly enjoyable personal reading or study through John's gospel. -- John Bayon -- Moody Theological Seminary Library Blog
The great value of Gardner's book is that it not only teases open this most evocative of texts, but offers outstanding examples of poets pursuing further exploration. -- Robert Willoughby, London School of Theology -- The Glass
