Word Made Fresh: Abram Van Engen at The Schaeffer House

Abram Van Engen will be at The Schaeffer House on Friday, August 9th to speak about his new book, Word Made Fresh: An Invitation to Poetry for the Church. Word Made Fresh is more than a guide to poetry—it’s an invitation to wonder, to speak up, to lament, to praise. Including dozens of poems from diverse authors, this book will inspire curious and thoughtful readers to see God and God’s creation in surprising new ways.

About the Author:

Abram Van Engen is Stanley Elkin Professor in the Humanities, Chair of the English Department, and Professor of Religion and Politics (by courtesy) at Washington University in St. Louis.
