Rating:  Summary: Mesmerizing Allegory Review: Calvin Miller has created something beautiful here. The Singer is the story of Christ, the Song is the story of the proliferation of the Gospel in the book of Acts, and the Finale is the book of Revelations.This book is such a welcome change to what's out there in christian fiction today. The lyrical quality of this collection is awesome. Miller has infused every word with such depth. I have read these books many times and have NEVER failed to be moved by them. This is a classic trilogy, you would doing yourself a disservice if you did not read these stories at least once.
Rating:  Summary: Thank you, Calvin Miller! Review: I first read "The Singer" in 1974 on a trip from New Mexico to Memphis, and was profoundly moved by its writing style and its content. Since then I have read it many more times, have purchased many of Calvin Miller's other books, and have given them as gifts to people whom I know and love. Dr. Miller is a poet, a philosopher, and a deeply committed Christian who sees Christ as the God-Man and whose concepts encompass the divinity and the humanity of the One about Whom he writes. I can recommend this book wholeheartedly.
Rating:  Summary: Jawdroppingly, stunningly amazing Review: Miller weaves an amazing story with his masterful use of blank verse. I've been taking a literature class at Potter's School (www.pottersschool.org) and we studied the Singer Trilogy. I've never worked so hard in my life, but I enjoyed it greatly as I had to study every word of this marvelous book. I've been looking for cheap copies so I can distribute them to all my friends. Everyone should read this book.

Rating:  Summary: Beautiful writing, wonderful allegory Review: Miller's trilogy sits towards the top of the list of epic poetry. Written in a lyric style, with clarity and excitement, these lines cannot fail to move anyone. Miller has also done an excellent job of telling an allegorical tale without sounding unoriginal or uninspired. The Singer Trilogy ranks among the great achievements of twentieth-century verse.
