Die Bibel spricht (eBook)

'Martina Steinkühler lets the Bible dance,' writes Fulbert Steffensky in his Introduction: a personal and gripping retelling of the most important texts of the Old and New Testament, addressing modern life and beliefs.This volume tells its stories- in short episodes that are embedded in the overall context- in a language that is neither old nor new, but is above all readable and especially readable out loud - memorable and rememberable- of God who loves life and not death and whose name says: I am what I am, and I am there for every one of you - of human beings, of women and men, with all their strengths and weaknesses, fears and dreams; of God who is near and far, infinitely large and infinitely good - of life as it is and as it should be, of God´s kingdom that shall come if only we believe- not in the sense of 'This you must believe ...,' but as an invitation, a call to everyone.Uses:- Proclamation and catechism: texts that can be read aloud and enjoyed by all; for group teaching; as a basis for text exegesis- Bible studies: with a reading list for the entire year; with an 'Introductory Bible Course'; with recommendations for adapting individual texts for special occasions and themes.Contains the classic texts 'Elias,' 'The Flood,', 'Maria and Martha,' 'Like Fire and Wind' and 'Like Bread and Wine.'
