The appreciator's remarks are extremely helpful, in great part because they so skillfully mix analysis and passion.

I would add that this poem packs a terrific punch even for a reader who does not share a conventional belief in Christ, but a more historical and/or metaphorical understanding of the Christian story. The injustice and inhumanity remain unutterably galling, the despair profoundly grim.
