Religion in Kinderliteratur

En savoir plus sur le livre

Astrid Lindgren's literature has profoundly influenced generations of children, with themes of dying and death woven throughout her work. This is evident not only in "The Brothers Lionheart" but also in "Ronia, the Robber’s Daughter" and even in her humorous tales about "Pippi" and "Emil." The current volume explores the theological dimensions of Lindgren's writing, positioning her texts as "christophoric literature" that aligns with the communication of the Gospel. Her agnosticism is described as a "religiously open agnosticism in the context of Christianity." By centering her narratives around children's perspectives, Lindgren fosters an environment that inspires a church oriented towards children.
