Answer
Divine love was indeed not a prominent theme in John Donne's religious poems. While many of his works delve into the complexities of spiritual devotion, they primarily focus on themes such as sin, guilt, and the struggle for redemption. Donne tended to explore the darker aspects of the human condition, seeking to reconcile his own spiritual doubts and yearnings with the doctrines of his faith.
