The Life of Edward Henry Bickersteth D. D., Bishop and Poet: Bishop of Exeter 1885-1900Longmans, Green, and Company, 1907 - 222 страници Bishop Bickersteth's retirement from active work towards the close of the year 1900, will afford a convenient break for the purposes of a review of his literary and missionary labors, which will be given in this and the succeeding chapter. His most famous writings were his poems, and the Hymnal Companion to the Book of Common Prayer which he compiled. Though the author of a large number of theological and devotional works, some of which had an immense circulation, to his contemporaries he was most widely known and admired as a religious poet. He was recognized as being one of the sweet singers of the Israel of God in his day, and whilst his poetry appealed most powerfully to the Protestant element in Anglo-Saxon Christendom, there were those in the Roman Catholic Church who were attracted by it, as will appear from the letter of John Henry Newman on the poem, "Yesterday, To-day and For Ever."--Amazon.com |
