About This Book

Een verzameling legenden en korte vertellingen die bekende episodes uit het leven van Christus en bijbehorende volksverhalen opnieuw brengen. Elk stuk presenteert een zelfstandige episode — geboorte, vlucht naar Egypte, scènes in Nazareth en de tempel, mirakels en visionaire ontmoetingen — in de trant van mondelinge overlevering, met nadruk op wonderen, symboliek en menselijk mededogen. De verhalen mengen sober realisme en wonderlijke verschijnselen, geven stem aan eenvoudige getuigen en laten kleine, ontroerende details en morele reflecties op het geloof naar voren komen.
