INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH SINCE ITS INITIAL PUBLISHING IN 2004, THE "PASSION FLOWER" HAS BEEN THE FIRST POETICAL BIOGRAPHY OF JESUS IN THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH LITERATURE. ACCORDING TO A DICTIONARY, THE PHRASE PASSION FLOWER REFERS TO A GROUP OF ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED ACTUAL PLANTS FROM THE PASSIFLORACEAE BOTANICAL FAMILY. THEY WERE NAMED THAT WAY DUE TO THE STRIKING SIMILARITY BETWEEN THE SHAPE OF THEIR BLOOMS AND THE EQUIPMENT USED DURING THE PASSION OF CHRIST. - IT SEEMS THAT UP TO THIS POINT WE DIDN'T HAVE A CONTEMPORARY STORY THAT WOULD DESCRIBE THE ENTIRE LIFE OF CHRIST POETICALLY - 'THE LIFE SPAN STORY WRITTEN BY JUST ONE AUTHOR' - STARTING AT THE MOMENT OF JESUS' BETHLEHEM BIRTH AND ENDING WITH THE DAY OF HIS RESURRECTION. IT DOESN'T COME AS A SURPRISE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT BIOGRAPHIES OF CHRIST WRITTEN BY 'EXPERTS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE FIELDS' NOVELISTS AND HISTORIANS, ARCHAEOLOGISTS AND ANTHROPOLOGISTS, THEOLOGIANS AND PHILOSOPHERS, EVEN ATHEISTS AND BELIEVERS ALIKE. THEIR WORKS ARE AVAILABLE IN THOUSANDS OF PROMINENT LIBRARIES AND BOOKSTORES AROUND THE WORLD. REMARKABLY, ALL THE BOOKS THAT BELONG TO THIS EXTREMELY VAST LITERARY CATEGORY ARE PUBLISHED IN THE LANGUAGE OF PROSE NOT POETRY. IN OTHER WORDS, SO FAR WE DIDN'T HAVE AN ALL INCLUSIVE, CONTEMPORARY BIOGRAPHY OF CHRIST IN THE REALM OF CLASSICAL POETRY. THE PASSION FLOWER TITLE SORT OF PIONEERS IN THIS REGARD- FILLING UP THAT 'CENTURIES PRESENT, POETICAL VOID.' - REGARDLESS OF THE RELIGIOUS PREFERENCE OR PHILOSOPHICAL ORIENTATION, EVERYBODY AGREES THAT JESUS OF NAZARETH IS ONE OF THE MOST FASCINATING FIGURES OF ALL TIME. MUSEUMS AROUND THE WORLD ARE FULL OF BIBLICAL ICONOGRAPHY THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN TIMELESS AND TIMELY. FROM THE LOUVRE OF PARIS TO THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, FROM THE BRITISH MUSEUM TO THE VATICAN COLLECTIONS - WE CAN NOTICE THAT THE MOST IMPRESSIVE WORKS OF ART HAVE BEEN OFTEN INFLUENCED BY THE RELIGIOUS FAITH. THEOLOGICAL THEMES HAVE INSPIRED THE ART OF ALL LEVELS INCLUDING THE CLASSICAL LITERATURE AND POETRY. FINALLY, THE "PASSION FLOWER" HAS ALSO ITS SISTER' SEQUEL WHICH IS CALLED "THE BOOK OF APOCALYPSE." IT FURTHER CONTINUES THE STRUCTURAL BLUEPRINT INITIATED IN THE POETICAL BIOGRAPHY OF JESUS. THIS IS AS WELL THE FIRST RENDITION OF THE JOHN'S REVELATION IN THE GENRE OF CLASSICAL POETRY. IT REACHES DOWN TO THE ESSENCE OF BIBLICAL MESSAGE AND PRESENTS THE BOOK OF APOCALYPSE IN AN ORIGINAL AND INSPIRING NARRATIVE.
