Reading Buechner by Jeffrey Munroe Book PDF Summary

Frederick Buechner is one of the most gifted writers of his generation, and his legacy casts a long shadow over Christian letters today.

And as a theologian and preacher, he pioneered the art of making theology accessible for a popular audience.

In this book, Buechner expert Jeffrey Munroe presents a collection of the true "essentials" from across Buechner's diverse catalog, as well as an overview of Buechner's life and a discussion of the state of his literary legacy today. Here is Buechner in all his complex glory, ready to delight and inspire again.
