The rapid dominance of science and technology, the ongoing instabilities of world politics and economy caused by wars, and individuals’ public and personal frustrations have brought a crisis of faith to different people in societies across the world. Aware of these critical circumstances, my article revisits Matthew Arnold’s visionary perspectives on rejuvenating belief in their association with religious education which can be strengthened by the nature and roles of poetry as one prominent element of a cultural reservoir. Among English authors, Arnold was a forerunner in facilitating development of the concept of an intimate connection between poetical works and religious education which, he believed, provided readers with power to sustain and rejuvenate their spiritual mindsets and visionary thoughts on life and the world beyond man’s physical territories. This article explores how Arnold’s poems and prose enact such vibrant interplay between literature and religious values, emphasizing the enrichment of their existence by pursuing elevated goals with wisdom and delight. It contends that his penetrating ideas inspire us to confront the limitations and challenges of present circumstances, thereby regenerating a sense of commitment to faith and hope for a brighter future enriched with poetic elevation and spiritual vision.
