Description - Women Wrapped in Silence by John W. Lynch
This modern spiritual classic is a touching and human portrait of the woman who was the mother of Christ, drawn with reverence and dignity—a narrative poem of special distinctiveness, universal in its appeal, and written in fluent verse of exceptionally high quality.
The book does not draw on legend or easy fancy. Although written before the renewal of scriptural scholarship, the poem's biblical basis remains surprisingly valid. The story of Mary is told completely and with remarkable depth of human insight, and mounts in beauty and power as it goes along, till in the dark, almost unbearably real climax of
the pain, the glory, the defeat
The long inaugural at Calvary
the Woman Wrapped in Silence
becomes wholly magnificent in
her last
Tremendous majesty.
