Part Two delves into the poetics of Psalms, especially LXX 118: a \"poetics of resurrection,\" a poetics that came to govern the lifework of an extraordinary man, blessed with faith, learning, and humility. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Paraclete Press","offers":[{"title":"Grace of Incorruption: The Selected Essays of Donald Sheehan on Orthodox Faith and Poetics | Donald Sheehan | Paperback | 9781612616018 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks H 1730296","offer_id":48167799292056,"sku":"1730296","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61Ra1N6T5jL.jpg?v=1771954587","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/grace-of-incorruption-the-selected-essays-of-donald-sheehan-on-orthodox-faith-and-poetics","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
