About this book
Richard Bauckham is one of today's most outstanding and internationally recognised biblical scholars and theologians. In addition he has, over a number of years, written a corpus of poetry that is admired by, among many others, Rowan Williams, Tom Wright, Jeremy Begbie, David Ford and Malcolm Guite. Tumbling Into Light collects together his poetry, including an extended sequence on the seasons and feasts of the church year, plus many other poems on biblical themes, creation and saints. This wide-ranging collection of poems will enrich the liturgy and worship of the church.
