Overview

Sixty-Six Reveries: A Poet's Walk Through the Field of Scripture is a unique and evocative collection of poetry that invites readers on a reflective journey through the entire Bible. With one poem dedicated to each of the sixty-six books of the Bible, this work blends theological insight with the art of poetic expression, offering a fresh way to engage with the Scriptures.

The poems are crafted to resonate with both scholars and general readers, offering a bridge between intellectual study and personal reflection. Through vivid language and careful attention to Scripture, Sixty-Six Reveries transforms the Bible's narrative and teachings into a powerful literary experience.

This work stands at an intersection of faith and art, encouraging readers to experience the Bible not only as a theological text but as a source of creative inspiration. Sixty-Six Reveries is a poetic exploration that enriches the soul while inviting deep reflection on the word of God.

Praise for Sixty-Six Reveries

“In this treasure of a book, Zachary Yonko combines exegetical acumen with a poet’s eye to open new windows of understanding into the sixty-six books of the Bible. There is a simple, authentic, and elegant beauty in his poetry that leads readers to an experience of Scripture’s own beauty. These poems can serve as a wonderful companion for personal Bible study and daily devotion. They have nourished my soul, and they will nourish yours as well!”

—L. Daniel Hawk, Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew, Ashland Theological Seminary



“Here you find true sincerity, dynamic faith, and poetic craftsmanship. Engagement with the reader matters as much to Yonko as engagement with the biblical texts. It is a masterful invitation to share his gifted interpretations. He writes about the Gospel of John, ‘I feel like I’ve been drawn into a world that’s both vast and intimate.’ That is how I felt while reading this book. Zachary Yonko, thank you for writing it.”

—Robert M. Randolph, Professor Emeritus, Texas State University



“In Sixty-Six Reveries, Yonko accepts one of the most joyful invitations given to us by our Creator, to dance a tango with the word through verse, spinning out sixty-six new creations in response. These poems are intimate considerations of ancient lives and stories, brought into the bright spirit and cadence of Zac’s particular voice and faith.”

—Sarah M. Wells, author of Ordinary Time: Meditations from the In-Between



“Do you like poetry? I have no experience reflecting on poetry outside of Scripture, but Sixty-Six Reveries is a rewarding and insightful reflection on God’s word. Zac ‘closes’ each book and letter, giving us such a thought-provoking journey through God’s word! Your musings and insight are refreshing for my own contemplations—thanks, brother!”

—Tony Webb, Founder, Vision USA Church Planting
