The Church’s Influence on Western Poetry

The church played a significant role in the development of Western poetry by providing inspiration, themes, and a platform for poets to express their faith and beliefs. Many poets drew from biblical stories, teachings, and religious imagery in their works. The church also preserved and promoted poetry through hymns, liturgical verses, and religious ceremonies.

Psalm 96:1-2 – “Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.”
