Abstract
This paper aims to highlight how a perspective of Christian poiesis, as a form of poetic thought, is present since biblical literature and permeates the literature of Christian inspiration, especially in two closely related elements – the contemplation of poetic images and the idea of a search itinerary. Such trends can be found throughout the literature of Christian inspiration, but are especially evident in Dante Alighieri as a theological poetic thought, which would later inspire modern and contemporary literature.
