Reseña del editor:

This anthology of poetry by John Keble celebrates Christian festivals, events and Holy Days throughout the entire year.

There is a poem for every Sunday of the year, with poems individually devoted to Easter, All Saints Day, Christmas, Advent, the Epiphany, Lent, Trinity and other occasions and celebrations within the Christian calendar. There are also poems written specifically for the major venerated saints, and special poems devoted to each day's morning and evening, together with verses covering the subject of marriages, births and ordinations of priests.

Well written, eloquent and brimming with faith, the poems of John Keble have become much-read in homes, church congregations and seminaries throughout Christendom. Readable and memorable to this day, they make a fine addition to any Christian bookshelf. Whether you are a lay person wishing to gain a fresh perspective on the yearly events of Christianity, or a churchman or priest who wishes to imbue his sermons with Keble's perceptive iterations of faith, The Christian Year is a fine book to have.

First published in 1827, this edition is derived from a revised text of The Christian Year which first appeared in 1887, and includes an introduction to the life and goals John Keble held when he authored the original text.
