George Herbert's The Temple is widely regarded as one of the greatest collections of Christian poetry ever penned. From encouragements and admonitions for the whole body of Christ, to personal reflections upon various "seasons of the soul", Herbert's effulgent and experimental verse is a comprehensive overview of the life of faith, to which countless fellow pilgrims have acknowledged a debt. More specialised, but equally valuable in its own sphere, is the prose work A Priest to the Temple, which offers the wisdom of experience to those called to be ministers in the House of God.
