Die schönsten Weihnachtsgeschichten

Rate this book
Was macht eine gute Weihnachtsgeschichte aus? Felix Hornstein zeigt anhand der schönsten Nikolaus- und Weihnachtsgeschichten, dass diese auch ohne Weihnachten erstrangige literarische Werke wären. Doch kommt in ihnen der Menschwerdung Gottes und dem Sich-Auftun der himmlischen Wirklichkeit jeweils eine besondere Bedeutung zu. An Weihnachten sind Dinge möglich, die sonst nicht möglich sind, das Fest wird zur Sternstunde für die Welt und für die Menschen …
Das Buch bietet jeweils Text und Interpretation. Fern von Kitsch und Sentimentalität hebt es verborgene Schätze und erschließt überraschende und ungewöhnliche Zugänge zur Bedeutung des christlichen Weihnachtsfestes. Advent und Weihnachten werden zur Chance, in tiefere Schichten des Lebens und des Glaubens hinabzusteigen.
