{"product_id":"slow-pilgrim-scott-cairns-9781612616575","title":"Slow Pilgrim: The Collected Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eScott Cairns collected his poems in a new book entitled \u003cem\u003eSlow Pilgrim\u003c\/em\u003e, which recollects his pilgrimage as a Christian in many of the poems.The book brings theology and poetry together, but In this case, the pilgrimage comes through an embrace of the Orthodox church and apophatic theology, which helps us to know God, not by comparisons or figurative language but by showing us Who and What God is not. However, the poems also connect us to everyday events with a realism lacking in typical 'religious verse'. In addition to digging through our collective or individual past, these poems give us a new take on familiar Bible stories and intimate relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis poems are replete with illusions and inspirations from Greek saints, Christian doctrines and Scripture. The God who gives life, who is the end and aim of all beauty and good, can be seen poking his wry smile through these pages. This book is a gift, a companion and a joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Cairns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612616577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612616575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paraclete Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooks \u0026amp; Culture\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2015 pg. 36","brand":"Scott Cairns","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046577074431,"sku":"9781612616575","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dfc0d0b3-a522-4ed3-b0ed-37d8a36fd316.jpg?v=1684985332","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/slow-pilgrim-scott-cairns-9781612616575","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
