The Admirable Malcolm Guite

When Malcolm Guite speaks, he does so from a bedrock of wisdom. Wisdom obtained through years of reading deeply (particularly Scripture and poetry) and taking that wisdom and meditating on it, contemplating their mysterious meanings, wrestling with difficult questions and ideas, comparing and contrasting those of high regard that came before him (viz., C.S. Lewis and J..R.R. Tolken)⸺conversating, adopting, praying, writing and sharing.

The effect is a self-assured, yet supremely humble man, formed by Christ who can articulate his thoughts in hypnotic meter that flows effortlessly from his tongue, that proclaims truth without armed persuasion, opened and displayed magnificently to all like the radiant hues of blues, reds, violets and greens from cathedral glass; all hugged in pious charity, love, and friendliness.
