Descriere: 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

Plato
An unabridged edition with introduction for study: Plato can do with words just as he pleases; to him they are indeed 'more plastic than wax' (Republic). We are in the habit of opposing speech and writing, poetry and prose. But he has discovered a use of language in which they are united; which gives a fitting expression to the highest truths; and in which the trifles of courtesy and the familiarities of daily life are not overlooked.
