Poet, translator and cultural critic Anthony Esolen joins the ‘In this extended meditation, Anthony Esolen looks, phrase by Links<\/strong><\/p>\n Anthony Esolen, In the Beginning Was the Word<\/em> Esolen\u2019s new newsletter, Word & Song<\/em> https:\/\/anthonyesolen.substack.com<\/a><\/p>\n This podcast is a production of CatholicCulture.org. If you like
\npodcast to discuss his book, In the Beginning Was the Word: An
\nAnnotated Reading of the Prologue of John<\/em>.<\/p>\n
\nphrase, at the majestic Prologue to the Gospel of John, which with
\ngood reason he calls “the most influential paragraph in the history
\nof man.” He unfolds its theological richness by showing how the
\nApostle John has in mind, not only what he saw Jesus do and heard
\nhim say, but also the whole witness of Scripture before the time of
\nJesus, and the way the young Church proclaimed him. A unique
\nfeature of this remarkable work is how Esolen “hears” (and we with
\nhim) the Hebrew\/Aramaic underlying<\/em> John\u2019s Greek (which was
\nnot his mother tongue), echoing those languages in such a way that,
\nall at once, what we thought could never be more profoundly
\nexpressed bursts forth in a renewed poetic splendor that brings
\ninto ever keener relief the whole panorama of the theology of the
\nGod-Man. Esolen’s decades-long immersion in Christian poetry and
\nScripture uniquely positions him as a guide to the astonishing and
\nlife-changing “poem” of the Prologue. He says it best: “My hope is
\nnot only to illuminate what John wishes us to hear, but to show
\nthat, when it comes to this poetry, John is not the originator; he
\nis, rather, the beloved disciple who caught the habit from the Lord
\nHimself.”‘ (Publisher\u2019s description)<\/p>\n
