About the Book

The Divine Epic of John the Evangelist presents for the first time in English the singular masterpiece of F. L. Bittencourt Sampaio-a metrical transposition of the Fourth Gospel into heroic verse, suffused with the moral and eschatological insights of Spiritism. Composed in late-19th-century Rio de Janeiro and long revered in Brazilian Spiritist circles, this epic recasts the beloved Gospel of John in hendecasyllabic stanzas of lofty cadence, allowing readers to hear anew the resonant rhythm of the Divine Word made flesh. This complete edition marries faithfulness to the Portuguese hendecasyllable with uncompromising clarity of meaning-prizing transparence over strict meter whenever it risked obscuring theological precision. A generous Preface and extensive annotations unveil the Spiritist framework that underlies Sampaio's verses: the soul's pre- and post-mortal existence and its ceaseless evolution through multiple corporeal lives; the extra-human nature of Jesus' body and His role as protector and governor of this planet; and the subtle yet constant influence of God and discarnate spirits in our lives, mediated by the universe's invisible fluids. More than a work of comparative theology or poetic experiment, The Divine Epic of John the Evangelist stands as a bridge between Christian revelation and progressive Spiritualist thought. Whether approached as a devotional poem, a theological treatise, or a monument of world literature, its cantos summon every reader-Spiritist, Christian, or seeker of any persuasion-to contemplate the timeless message of love, forgiveness, and ceaseless spiritual ascent. May the soaring wings of John's "eagle-vision," carried here on the fervent breath of heroic verse, awaken in every heart the call to "pass from death unto life" and draw all who read these pages into the ineffable light of the Divine Master.
