Over 400,000 Copies in Print "In the beginning was the song of love." In this timeless classic, Calvin Miller retells the story of Jesus through an allegorical poem about a Singer whose song could not be silenced. Since it was first published in 1975, The Singer has left an indelible impression on Christian literature and offered believers and seekers the world over a deeply personal encounter with the gospel. With a new foreword by IVP Publisher Jeffrey Crosby and an updated interior design, The Singer is now available as part of the IVP Signature Collection, which features special editions of iconic books in celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of InterVarsity Press. Now there's also a companion Bible study guide available with eight sessions exploring the characters in the text.
"For decades The Singer has done the one thing most necessary: to make Jesus himself accessible and attractive in ways that stick in the mind and soul, so that he can do his work of renewing the life of God in the individual. Calvin Miller's great gift is to sing Jesus powerfully, to the blessing of our generation and those to come."
Dallas Willard, author of The Divine Conspiracy
"The Singer left an imprint of joy on my life twenty-five years ago. . . . Calvin Miller's work is a definitive illustration of God's ongoing creativity through a believing artist and gives cause for new celebration."
Jeannette Clift George, author of John, His Story
"When I was a young questor, I found in a university bookstore a trilogy of books that impacted my life so deeply that-twenty-five years later-I find myself still quoting lines and discussing concepts of truth from them. Literature like The Singer Trilogy will live-like Milton's Paradise Lost and James Weldon Johnson's God's Trombones. The Singer must never be allowed to be out of print. Every generation needs to read it."
