博客來Timothy’s upcoming book, Roots and Fruit: An Introduction to the Christian Faith, is for those wondering what Christianity is all about. This book uses clear, formal verse over the course of 78 poems to introduce what Christians believe and why. These poems alternate between recounting the basic narrative of Scripture (from the Creation, Fall, and Exodus through the life of Christ and the founding of the Church) and explaining how each story lays the foundation for the doctrine and practices of Christians.
Timothy E. G. Bartel is a poet and professor from California. His poems, translations, and essays have appeared in Christianity and Literature, First Things, The Hopkins Review, Modern Age, and elsewhere. Timothy is the author of four collections of poetry and three volumes of essays, most recently The Poets and the Fathers: Theology and Poetry from Gregory Nazianzus to Scott Cairns. Timothy lives with his family in Houston, where he serves as Professor of Great Texts and Theology at Saint Constantine College.
