The editor's aim in this work was to reveal the extent to which the life and teaching of Christ have inspired the poets of the English-speaking race, and not least those who are not famed for their specifically religious poetry, as well as to illustrated that wonderful life itself by the poems thus inspired. Ault deliberately avoided including poems which may be found in collections of hymns. These poems come from widely varied sources, many not available to the general public.
