Poetry as Theology

This one-day course explores the intimate links between the poetic, the creative and the sacred. We will engage with examples of poetry from the fourth century to the present day: from Ephrem the Syrian to Gerard Manley Hopkins and RS Thomas. With attention to form as well as content, we will explore how works of poetry can not only reflect and exemplify theological ideas, but indeed constitute religious experiences and ways of approaching the divine.
