Jesus Christ in Love

Antony Theodore has written thousands of wonderful poems on spirituality and love. This book contains two hundred of his select poems on the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. The poems make several references to the Veda, Upanishad, Gita and other scriptures also. The poems are arranged in seven parts covering Miracle of Birth, Word of God, Mystery of Love, Voyage of Life, Temptation of Flesh, Final Cross and The After Life.Many of the poems dwell on the intimacy of human love as expressed through sexual attraction between man and woman. For the poet marriage is the sacred union of two souls on the path of God realisation. The covenant of marriage is a promise before God for lifelong devotion, and its breach is a terrible sin signaling fall of man. Romantic attraction prepares the human heart for ultimate God communion. Supreme God has split Himself into Man and Woman for cosmic play of creation. By seeing one's mirror image in one another, a couple in love can retrace their path back to the divine origin.The poems provide a penetrative new interpretation of the universal truths underlying Christ's sermons. It shows that the truth contained in the Holy Gospel is essentially the same truth as expounded in the scriptures of all world religions. The One Truth has been expressed differently through Veda, Bible, Gita and Quran. The book has been edited by Dr Tapan Kumar Pradhan, who has also written its foreword and introduction.
