David Lawrence Edwards

Wide-ranging and authoritative, this book explores Christianity as it has taken root in societies across five continents.

The First Two Thousand Years

Christianity

John Donne is best known as England's poet of love -- but he was much else besides. He was also a peerless writer of the spiritual journey, a stalwart churchman, and a great preacher. Yet behind this famed public face there also lived a lesser known tortured and contradictory figure. This extraordinary biography paints a compelling new portrait of Donne as a man of both spirit and flesh. David Edwards ranges across all of Donne's writings, including critically neglected sermons, using them to illuminate Donne's life and vice versa. Itself a masterpiece of writing, this book challenges common views with wit and a critical compassion that does not fail to let Donne speak to readers in his own words.

The great English poets are at the centre of a cultural heritage which goes along with the world-wide spread of the English language, yet they are now more often the object of study than of pleasure.
