Summary Little has been said about the relationship of Herbert's writings to those of Calvin, yet those writings were abundant and influential in Herbert's Church of England. Accordingly, Picturing Spiritual Conflicts studies Herbert's poetry in relation to those writings, particularly regarding the spiritual conflicts which the poet himself said would be found depicted in his book of poems. Mouch more than is generally realized, Calvin wrote about the experience of living the Christian life - which is also Herbert's subject in many of his poems
