The listing, AUTOGRAPHED 1965 Book - THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO PEANUTS has ended.

In 1965, a 28 year-old pastor named Robert Short turned a popular slide show he'd been presenting while working his way through seminary into a book called The Gospel According to Peanuts using Schulz's characters to explain the Christian faith. He explained that Lucy, in her headstrong impulsiveness, often represents original sin. In the Hound of Heaven chapter, Short shows how Schulz used Snoopy to stand for Christ or ideal Christians. A small Presbyterian publishing house (John Knox) published it in hopes of inspiring some Sunday-school teachers to think outside the box, and, behold, their wish was fulfilled. Over 10 million copies were sold.

Cartoons, like humour, touch on the puzzles of life. Where did we come from? What is the meaning of happiness? Why are some born dogs while others are born people? This selection of cartoons invites the reader to explore the great themes of the Christian faith through the eyes of the Peanuts comic-strip characters. Illustrated throughout by the antics of Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus and Snoopy the dog, the book seeks to make the reader laugh and think deeply at one and the same time.
