This book presents a historically and critically nuanced study of George Herbert's biblical poetics. Situating Herbert's work in the context of shifting ideas of biblical mystery, Gary Kuchar shows how Herbert negotiated two competing impulses within post-reformation thought-two contrary aspects of reformation spirituality as he inherited it: the impulse to certainty, assurance, and security and the impulse to mystery, wonder, and wise ignorance. Through subtle and richly contextualized readings, Kuchar places Herbert within a trans-historical tradition of biblical interpretation while also locating him firmly within the context of the early Stuart church. The result is a wide ranging book that is sure to be of interest to students and scholars across several different fields, including seventeenth-century studies, poetry and the bible, and literature and theology.
"Kuchar does put unique voices into dialogue with the Herbert corpus and his exploration of the interplay between dogmatic and mystical Christianity offers a fruitful jumping-off point for future studies. ... Herbert scholars and scholars of seventeenth-century religious culture will certainly find considerable value in this work." (Brad Pickens, Anglican Theological Review, Vol. 102 (1), 2020)

The ultimate payoff of George Herbert and the Mystery of the Word is not just a deep sense of Herbert's commitmentto mystery, but the realization that this may be a root cause of the blossoming of seventeenth-century religious poetry. ...
