A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit, Jacob and the stairway to heaven, Joseph and his brothers, Moses and the Exodus, Samson and Delilah, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, the life and teachings of Jesus, the birth of Christianity. . . the Bible is full of dramatic stories that have made it the world's bestselling book. But whoever has time to read it all from cover to cover?

Now, at last, here's a way of getting to know the Bible without having to read every chapter and verse. No summary, no paraphrase, no commentary: just the Bible's own story in the Bible's own words.
