In Eliot's prescient Choruses From " The Rock," Jesus Christ is called the stranger. What a curious title for someone so seemingly familiar to believers and unbelievers alike. When Palpant read Eliot's poem, the enigmatic stranger captured his imagination. And the stranger's questions haunted him long after he put the book down. This book of poems tries to answer the stranger's questions-especially the question "Where has God gone?"-by exploring God's divine intrusion into our world in the person of Jesus Christ. It is one man's attempt to rise and meet the stranger.
