Sir John Betjeman was one of the twentieth century's great makers of the Christian imagination. He used his formidable gifts for poetry to show us how to think about the Anglican faith and about Englishness, and Christianity in general. This is an anthology of about 75 poems on religious themes, with footnotes and an introduction.
'anyone who wants to have his or her eyes opened to the presence of God in ordinary life or the significance of the transient and the mundane in the light of eternity would do well to read this anthology...these poems are often movingly honest about his perplexities or his inadequacies, but in the end a hope, often against hope, remains...This selection is thoroughly to be recommended'
