Logos Wrapped in Words invites readers to encounter Scripture through the imaginative possibilities of poetry. Following the three-year cycle of the Revised Common Lectionary, Russell E. Willis listens for what both familiar and unfamiliar biblical texts might awaken when approached with attention, wonder, faith, doubt, grief, and hope.
These poems do not explain Scripture or reduce it to easy answers. They enter its stories, voices, silences, and questions, creating space for fresh encounters with the biblical text and the human experiences it illuminates. Together, they form a companion to the Church Year-from Advent expectation through Christmas incarnation, Lenten searching, Easter astonishment, and the long season of faithful living that follows Pentecost.
Written for clergy, worship planners, lectionary readers, poetry lovers, and anyone drawn to the meeting place of sacred text and human imagination, Logos Wrapped in Words offers poetry as an invitation: listen carefully, imagine faithfully, and discover what the Word might disclose.
