"This volume is a useful reader to accompany primary formal texts
in Biblical interpretation courses....The reader is introduced to
little known authors whose interpretations of biblical texts are
quite insightful."--Hal Warlick, High Point University
"This is a rich collection that could be used effectively in
literature and religion classes. Because it has the Bible as its
focus, it may elicit more than passing interest from those who
usually shy away from poetry."--Kliatt
"Occasionally there appears a religiously oriented work of such
originality and obvious usefulness that one wonders why no one did
it before. A stellar example is Chapters Into Verse."--Publishers
Weekly
"Spiritually, stylistically and chronologically, the range is
absolutely astonishing."--Parade Magazine
