Gospel Sonnets

Ralph Erskine’s ‘Gospel Sonnets’ is a collection of metrical meditations on the doctrines of grace, originally sung by Scottish Covenanters around campfires and hearthstones. The poems combine doctrinal precision with lyrical warmth, making abstract truths singable. The book is a unique blend of theology and poetry, ideal for devotional reading or for memorisation. A refreshing alternative to modern worship fluff and a reminder that truth can be beautiful as well as bold.
