Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Childhood of Christ: As Seen by the Primitive Masters There is, in our living-room, an old chest containing some photographs of much older pictures brought back years ago from Italy. Around this chest we gather, every Sunday, my children, my wife, and myself, each of us holding a different picture, representing some episode of the life of Christ. After reading the few verses which inspired the artists, we talk together, trying to imagine what really did happen, and how near or how far from the truth may be the various pictures which we have before us. These quiet talks are not Bible lessons; it was quite by chance that we began them. They are done without any preparation, each of us contributing his or her small share of remarks and suggestions. The method may be criticized, but the children like it, because they feel, no doubt, that they are brought closer to the sacred story when holding in their hands some concrete image and being able to sec as well as to hear. It has been suggested to me that other small children, and even the big children some of us still happily remain, might derive pleasure and benefit from our Sunday talks, and I have endeavoured, in this first volume on the Childhood of Christ, to outline briefly some of the results which we have achieved. It would have been, no doubt, more entertaining to record fully our conversation, but, as this conversation is apt to wander from the point, the result might have proved disappointing or at least incongruous.
