Abstract
-
en_US
Each of these chapters of four-pages starts with a story. They may be fables or other literary forms. They come from various sources. This text is followed then by a reflection of some three pages or so. The final part of each chapter is a portion of a psalm. The Vorwort makes clear that the author has sought out fables, short narratives, and parables that have immediately spoken to him and challenged him to interpret them out of his faith. He does that here. The first example, Umschlossen (Surrounded, 9-13) has fish confronting each other and then a wise elder fish with what they have heard: that they live from water. But they do not even know what water is. Naturally, I find the book most engaging when the beginning text is a classic fable, like those on 29 and 45. I enjoy this development of fables and treasure the gift! This dedication is on the first page: Herrn P. Greg Carlson herzlich zugeignet! Udo Körner, 16.11.97. Is it some of the fun of this book that the sub-title promises thirty chapters and the book gives thirty-one of them?
