Tongues of fire an anthology of religious and poetic experience

Inspired by the Channel 4 series of the same name, Tongues of Fire is a rich and exciting anthology which touches on all aspects of the religious experience. Religion today is too easily dismissed as an irrevelance in the lives of those with no particular faith. Tongues of Fire sharpes revokes this view by bringing together a number of works that will be well known to most readers with many others, drawn from a wide variety of sources and cultures, that will not. Thus Milton, Vaughn, Donne and Blake are found alongside Judah Ha-Levi and Jalallu'ddin Rumi, divided not by faith and belief but by theme and treatment into a series of chapters that accentuate their common features rather than their differences. --Penguin Books.
