Telling the Truth: The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy, and Fairy Tale
Frederick Buechner
Descripción
More than three decades after its original publication, Frederick Buechner's classic reinterpretation of the Gospels remains fresh, creative, and inspirational. In Telling the Truth, Buechner highlights the many dimensions of God's relationship to humanity by interpreting the Scriptures in three ways: as tragedy, as comedy, and as fairy tale. By looking at the same texts in different ways, readers can get a fresh perspective on familiar passages, understand more about Christianity, and deepen their own relationships with God.
Frederick Buechner is the award-winning author of more than thirty works of fiction and nonfiction, including the New York Times bestseller A Long Day's Dying, the Pulitzer prize-nominated Godric, Wishful Thinking, Telling the Truth, The Eyes of the Heart, On the Road with the Archangel, and The Storm. He has been honored by the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. He writes from his home in Vermont. "Thoughtful, spirited, entertaining ... a dictionary for doubters and restless believers." - Chicago Tribune Telling the Truth is for the preacher who must pull the little cord that turns on the lectern light, must look out over the people and the silence, must begin to speak of a truth beyond telling. It is for the woman who wants to understand how people believe what they cheerfully acknowledge is a tragic, comic fairy tale. It is for anyone who believes that faith, like art, can hold a special mirror to human experience.Detalles
