Preaching and Poetry has a long tradition, going back to the Biblical writers themselves.
In the British Colonies, and later United States, preacher-poets have been in the forefront of trends and changes in culture and theology, as well as leaders in revival and social reform movements.
Many of these preacher-poets cut their theological and literary teeth at Harvard, and we'll spend an evening giving voice to their voices and learning about their passions through their poetry. These will include:
Micahel Wigglesworth
Edward Taylor
Timothy Flint
Jones Very
John Pierpont, Sr.
Christopher Cranch
Thomas Wentworth Higginson
Amos Niven Wilder
