The Christmas Tales

by C.J.S. Hayward

This anthology is one volume from C.J.S. Hayward's collected works. It includes a not-quite-right historical parody, a story of the worlds to be seen in Orthodox icons, a lighter look at the kinds of jobs that are available to theologians, a present-day revisiting that looks at the most famous allegory in Plato's writing, a look at two momentous moments, two documents about Eastern Orthodox Christianity in aspects that can be harder for Western Christians to pick, one of which takes a look at a Calvinist lens, a look at how much more there is in life than money, and a collection of vignettes each of which is meant to provide a little taste of Eastern Orthodox Christianity.
