THE GRAVITY
OF THE SITUATION

by Ben Witherington, III

"Ben Witherington is a verbal virtuoso, as the prodigious body of scholarly work he has produced over the past decades eloquently attests. In this slim volume, he employs his medium in a different key. Simultaneously playful and profound, his lines surprise us with eternal truth as they make us smile, reminding us of realities we are prone to forget, and at times baring our souls to the searchlight of grace."

SACRED AND MUNDANE

by Ben Witherington, III

"As a general rule, academics tend to scorn poets, but scholars who study in the theological tradition of John and Charles Wesley remember our roots live in songs. In this volume of poems comes such a scholar. This is Ben Witherington. Though he be part New Testament scholar, part preacher, part pastor, part archaeologist, and part guitar hero, he is all poet."

Dean of Estes Chapel, Asbury Theological Seminary
