Encompassing scriptural, historical, folk, and newly commissioned tales, a collection exploring the centrality of the "stranger"in every major faith tradition—a commonality that could create a more compassionate world
Every faith has, as a fundamental moment of its formation, the experience of exile, the experience of losing everything, or being thrown out, of being dispossessed, and of relying on the generosity, or not, of strangers. Furthermore, every major faith tradition has popular stories showing how you are more likely to meet the divine in the outcast, the reject, the beggar, than you are in the king, the prince, or indeed minister, priest, or nun. Faiths are therefore often the first to welcome and help refugees.Classictales onthis themehave been retold herefrom a contemporary perspective, with humor and wit.Sitting alongside powerful illustrations, the tales serveto remind readers of the centrality of the stranger inall traditions, thereby creatingthe potential for amore compassionate world. This collection is a resource for reflection, ideal for storytelling groups, for drama, art, and poetry, and a unique educational tool as well.
