Synopsis

Robert Pollok’s The Course Of Time: A Poem is a sweeping devotional epic that meditates on time, eternity, and the fate of human souls. Composed as ten books, it traces creation, the moral destiny of mankind, the Fall, and the atoning work of Christ, then surveys human striving, pride, and folly through the lens of divine justice and mercy. Pollok’s vast allegory brings together a cast of heavenly spirits, moral exemplars, poets, priests, and rulers to dramatize how time tests virtue and motivates repentance. The poem analyzes the Bible’s central truths—God’s unity, human depravity, redemption by faith in Christ, and the necessity of holiness—while warning against idle philosophy, idolatry, and worldly fame. Its climactic sequence envisions a millennial peace followed by judgment; the righteous inherit glory in New Jerusalem, while the wicked are condemned to final ruin. The work champions humility, perseverance, charity, and faith as the path to everlasting joy.
