“Dr. Conrad van Dyk has crafted an excellent course that explores the major concepts of biblical poetry within the framework of redemptive history and biblical interpretation. The course material is presented in a way that is clear, detailed, and engaging. The assignments are helpful and pertinent. The student will gain an appreciation for the intricacy and power of the poetic sections of the living Word of God. Highly recommended!”

“The LitCompanion guide to biblical poetry is an excellent resource for homeschoolers and other educators looking to introduce themselves and their students to the often neglected topic of poetic forms in the Bible. Professor Van Dyk's presentation is highly accessible and fluid, making it approachable for students at a highschool level or above without sacrificing rigour and detail. The quizzes and activities complement the content effectively to help reinforce the learning experience. After completion, students can expect to have a solid foundational understanding of the key skills involved in classifying and assessing biblical poetry. I would highly recommend this guide to homeschoolers and other educators working on the topic—I learned a lot from it myself!”
