Produktbeschreibung
This book comes from the playground of imagination. It is the work of a leading international specialist in New Testament studies with a passion for making the findings of New Testament research accessible for a wide readership. From children's stories to liturgies, poems to subversively provocative fantasies, it invites the reader to play, to reflect, and to be confronted. This is a book to keep coming back to, rather than one to be read from cover to cover. It invites the reader to engage issues at the heart of faith and disbelief. It is a rich and challenging resource for personal and for group reflection. Some pieces will serve well as discussion starters. Some are for storytelling and celebration, including children's stories with subtle hints for adult minds. Others belong in the context of worship. They are grouped broadly according to the church liturgical year: ""Around Christmas""; ""Around Easter""; ""Around Pentecost""; and ""Any Time."" Come and read! Come and play!
