A lucid, persuasive reinterpretation and introduction for readers to the work of the 17th century metaphysical poet and theologian Thomas Traherne. Re-evaluates his work as a theologian whose main concern was to trace the dynamic between desire and satisfaction that he felt defined and structured the relationship between God and human beings.

The 17th century writer Thomas Traherne is recognised and studied as a theologian as well as a poet. This work is an introduction to his life and work. It concerns Traherne primarily as a theologian and places him in an historical and intellectual context. It demonstrates his distinctive contribution to Anglican theology.
