Philip Rosenbaum

Philip Rosenbaum became a Christian in his mid-twenties and wrote his first poem at the age of thirty-four. He was born and raised in Washington, D.C., where he attended St. Albans School and sang in the Choir of Men and Boys at the Washington National Cathedral. He earned a degree in English at Harvard, then worked with delinquent boys as a counselor and wilderness school director before being called to an evangelical ministry in California. A decade later he moved back to Virginia and found work as a fine art consultant. He has published two books in prose, How to Enjoy the Boring Parts of the Bible and The Promise, and two in verse, Holy Week Sonnets and The Wedding Party: An Epic Poem. He and his wife, Jeanne, live in northern Virginia and are members of an historic Christian church. They have five grown children and five grandchildren.
