Saint-Exupéry did not consciously write as a Christian believer, but there are touching Christian references in the book, such as his recollection, toward the ...
Effective evangelism and apologetics requires our following the Pauline principle of “becoming all things to all people, that by all means some might be saved”—“a Jew to the Jew and a Greek to the Greeks.” To the great surprise of not a few evangelicals, this entails wide reading, and not just of overtly Christian literature. True, we applaud John Wesley for being “a man of one Book,” the Scriptures; but (1) he was, as a matter of fact, an Oxford graduate and did not limit his reading to the Bible, and (2) in our (much more secular) era we are not going to capture the attention and interest of the unbeliever if we can only quote and discuss the Book of Deuteronomy. I have tried to make this point in my work, Myth, Allegory and Gospel—particularly in the introductory essay—and I have provided a concrete illustration of the value of such an approach in my apologetic handling of Sherlock Holmes: The Transcendent Holmes (www.ciltpp.com).

Reading Antoine de Saint Exupéry’s precious masterpiece, The Little Prince, is a marvelous journey. Each time, I am amused at its depth. The Little Prince helps me to see the beauty of living life beautifully.1 Even though he (and we) live in—if I can borrow for a moment from the philosophy of Gabriel Marcel—a “broken world,”2 he also offers a glimpse of what it means to live in it differently. “Do not conform yourselves to this age . . .” (Rom 12:2).

Jun 30, 2015 · The article focuses on the fairy tale and parable “The Little Prince", the masterpiece of the famous French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
The article focuses on the fairy tale and parable “The Little Prince", the masterpiece of the famous French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900 - 1944), whose literary works are imbued with deep humanism and faith in a human being, search for the truth and meaning in life. The article examines the genre of a parable in terms of the Christian tradition. The parable was one of the main methods of preaching of Jesus Christ. Christian sources indicate such basic features of a parable as teaching and edification through the images and characters from real life; they have deep spiritual meaning of divinely revealed truth. Allegorical stories make words of teaching more expressive, they teach meditation. The article reveals parallels between Saint-Exupery’s work and biblical images and parables such as a sheep as an image of the evangelical lamb, a baobab as sprouts of sin, the Little Prince’s rule to clean his planet as a call to morning prayer, the theme of the freedom to choose between good and evil, an image of the volcano as the need for purification from passions, the character of the lamplighter as an image of a righteous monk, a heart as the organ of spiritual knowledge These vivid images of the fairy tale like the biblical parables demonstrate the unity of the spiritual and the physical world, help to understand the hidden wisdom, allow to lodge the truth deep on memory.

I enjoy books about man’s struggle against overwhelming odds. There is a celebration of the human spirit in the effort to conquer the Pole, or to rescue survivors of a shipwreck, or to sail around the world, or to survive without water in the Sahara. Part of my lazy armchair enjoyment comes, certainly, from the vicarious adventure. But there is also a transcendence of ideology which points to a deeper truth. Rescuers don’t ascertain a man’s political beliefs before risking everything to save
