What Big Ears You Have!

What do Little Red Riding Hood and theology have in common? Inspired by the Red Riding Hood fable, Otto Pesch has created a series of 'new readings' of Red Riding Hood from the point of view of systematic theology, Old and New Testament exegesis, canon law, and moral theology. Offered for the purpose of a gentle teasing of theology, Pesch's What Big Ears You Have! offers a clever new twist to a common story. Written in an amusing style that makes light of theology's 'special jargon,' Pesch's Red Riding Hood in theology includes thirteen new variations in the language of all the fields of theology. Students, scholars, clergy, or anyone with a serious (or not-so-serious) interest in theology will appreciate the insight and humour Pesch delivers in What Big Ears You Have!
