The Gospel According to Dogs: What Our Four-Legged Saints Can Teach Us

Robert L. Short

HarperOne, 2007

What? You don't think Faith is for the Dogs? Well, laugh & learn with Robert Short and you'll sit up and beg for more!
You've just got to smile at this brainstorm by the godfather of the "Gospel According to ..." genre, Robert L. Short. Bob's the guy who published the original "The Gospel According to Peanuts" in the mid 1960s -- and wound up selling more than 10 million copies as this somewhat shocking idea (at the time) got people chuckling and nodding their heads. Well, like me -- and millions of other ...

The Gospel According to "Peanuts" (Gospel According To...)

Robert L. Short

Westminster John Knox Press, 1979

A convincing argument for the use of modern-day parables
The Gospel According to Peanuts is a truly fascinating little book filled with insight, wisdom, and the type of joy that Christians should naturally espouse. Robert L. Short certainly does not argue that every single Peanuts cartoon carries a theological message, but he offers up an amazing selection of comic strips that do in fact encapsulate a number of important Christian beliefs. He begins ...

Westminster / John Knox Press, 1991

Excellent/warm and thoughtful as well as informative
This book uses the Peanuts characters to illustrate important points....that we all do get confused with. He not only helps us see things clearly....but shows us God's Love as well. This is not about hell.....but about human error and learning to love one another. People should not take every book so seriously...why not enjoy the book and learn from it....EXCELLENT

The Enduring Value in This Classic by the godfather of the "Gospel According to ..." Genre
Online reviewers of Robert L. Short's landmark books, drawing parallels between popular culture and the gospels, sometimes are suspicious of his theology -- so let me perhaps re-orient the conversation a little bit. No, not all Christians will agree with Short's theology. It's true that in the middle of this 1968-vintage book, he talks more explicitly about a theme that began to emerge in his ...

The Parables of Peanuts
Robert L. Short

Harper & Row, 1968

The author emphasizes the basics of the Christian faith as he "unshells" Peanuts. He draws upon a veritable host of witnesses to this end, not only in the Peanuts children and in Snoopy... but also in such friends as Barth, Camus, Kierkegaard, and Bonhoeffer.

The Parables of Dr. Seuss

The "Godfather" of "Gospel According To ..." Books is Back with a Spiritual Salute to Seuss
I've known there was more to Dr. Seuss ever since I read through his collection of World War II-era cartoons: "Dr. Seuss Goes to War: The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor (Seuss) Geisel." His strong social conscience was obvious as he skewered the dangers of the Nazi thugs extending their grasp across Europe. Some of his cartoons were even razor-sharp darts at the handful of Americans ...

The Gospel from Outer Space (A Fount Original)

Fount, 1983

Phone Home
Robert Short is best known for his delightful best seller, The Gospel According to Peanuts. Like that book, this one began life as a series of audio-visual presentations on a popular subject. This one came in the wake of sci-fi films that asked or intimated the big questions, including E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It wasn't originally a Fount Original, that being a British ...
