Especi...Well, I simply can't amen this enough. Especially the part about poetry being a better avenue to love God with all our minds. I don't think Christians and their educational institutions consider the proper development (or even defining) of the imagination nearly enough. <br /><br />As far as Hebrew poetry, it doesn't rhyme like the English, nor is it strictly metrical. My understanding is that it may be closer to what we call syllabics today. But I'd be open to correction on that. <br /><br />Your comments here indicate I'd probably appreciate a wider scope of poetry<br />styles than you might even call poetry, but for worship, I think we have to continue in the tradition of our forbears--meaning dealing in meter and some form of rhyme--although those two alone do not poetry make, nor are they necessary to poetry.<br /><br />I'm pleased to see conservative Christians (yourself, Chris Anderson, some of the Religious Affections guys) taking up the poetry/hymnwriting cause.d4v34xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07346680257860879900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-62689484573839681362010-12-31T05:22:46.300-08:002010-12-31T05:22:46.300-08:00Good, sanctified thoughts brother Brandenburg. En...Good, sanctified thoughts brother Brandenburg. Enjoyed it.<br />Here is a question for you. A major part of poetry is the beauty of the way words sound when put together. One element of that in English poetry is rhyme. I know that the Hebrew Scriptures give attention to the beauty of words put together in sentences, particularly in the poetic books (I had to memorize some portions of the psalms in my Hebrew class), but does Hebrew use rhyme like English does?<br />I realize that rhyme is perhaps not a great literary element (even the rappers use rhyme), but it is a nice and also effective element when used well.Gary Webbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-78974804571629590392010-12-30T23:46:01.373-08:002010-12-30T23:46:01.373-08:00If Christians came to understand
