In Christianity, the two names Jesus and Emmanuel (which allude to Jesus in the New Testament) have salvific attributes.

Christians have connected a theological meaning to the Holy Name of Jesus. The use of the name of Jesus in the petitions is highlighted in John 16:23 when Jesus says: "Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you." There is a widespread belief among Christians that the name of Jesus is not simply a series of identifying symbols, but includes the intrinsic divine power.

Fray Luis de León (1527 - 1591) was a Spanish Augustinian theologian, poet, humanist and religious.

Fray Luis de León is one of the most important poets of the second phase of the Spanish Renaissance together with Francisco de Aldana, Alonso de Ercilla, Fernando de Herrera and San Juan de la Cruz. His work is part of the ascetic literature of the second half of the sixteenth century and is inspired by the desire of the soul to move away from everything earthly to achieve what God promised, identified with peace and knowledge. The moral and ascetic themes dominate all his work.
