Christosophic Poems: An Anthology of the Wisdom Jesus by Blake Burleson
From thousands of poems that have spoken to the mystery of the wisdom Jesus here is an anthology selected by Blake Burleson with an accompanying commentary by Lynn Bauman. This anthology is based upon the sapiential teachings of Jesus found in the canonical Gospels and the recently discovered Gospel of Thomas. Each is a reflective poem, meant to be read and listened to in a deep contemplative space. These poems expand and extend our understanding for they are spoken from the hearts and minds of visionary poets who have taken the words of Jesus into their being in order that they too might see and understand him in new and living ways. Most of the poets have lived and spoken in the modern world, but some come from other eras and outside the Christian tradition. We offer this anthology as a guide for contemplative prayer and contemplative living to all wisdom seekers who value the sapiential teachings of Jesus.
