Stories and poems are a unique key to the world and literally condensed reality. They are both a challenge and an invitation, a question and a stimulus to enter the familiar house of theology through different doors. Hubertus Halbfas presents here, along with two other representative volumes enriched with contemporary print graphics and photography, an inspiring collection of texts. The literary texts receive dual commentary: through the presentation of the author, information about the time of creation, historical backgrounds, and literary peculiarities, but above all through interpretative aids, often featuring quotes from significant authors. Anyone seeking inspiration to uncover surprising approaches to seemingly well-known topics will find it here.
