The Song of Matthew: A Poetic Gospel

Traditional cultures in many parts of the world have displayed a profound appreciation of the need for human beings to understand each other, leaving aside religious partisanship in a search for common understanding of the worldly, the transcendent, and the divine. Poetry and music may build such lasting bridges and provide disparate cultures with forms for public celebration. To promote a stronger general sense of community and encourage performance of the text, THE SONG OF MATTHEW retells the gospel story as a poem arranged in blank verse iambic pentameter, the form used by Milton and Shakespeare. It retains the meaning of conventional versions of the story of Jesus, while offering suitable texts for musical settings of the entire gospel or any passage of particular interest. Jabez L. Van Cleef takes foundational texts from many oral traditions and religions and creates a common poetic format to preserve and disseminate the values of these cultures.
