Bible Poetry

Did you know that there are inspirational poems and poetry in the Bible?

Easton's Bible dictionary says, "Poetry has been well defined as 'the measured language of emotion.' Hebrew poetry deals almost exclusively with the great question of man's relation to God... In the Hebrew scriptures there are found three distinct kinds of poetry, 1) that of the Book of Job and the Song of Solomon, which is dramatic; 2) that of the Book of Psalms, which is lyrical; and 3) that of the Book of Ecclesiastes, which is didactic and sententious." (1)

The Christian Book of Mystical Verse
Compiled by A.W. Tozer

While the term "mystic" may have connotations that reach beyond traditional Christian thinking, it actually refers to a common spiritual experience that unites anyone who has fellowship with God.

The poems in this book were hand-picked by Tozer and follow a logical pattern, going in line with the very nature of salvation itself and the death of Jesus on the cross, man's contemplation of his own sin, redemption, communion with God, awaiting the return of Christ, and celebrations of eternal fellowship with God in Heaven.
