Content
This special title summarizes the most significant stories from the Old and New Testaments, and at the same time addresses children’s factual questions: What is a prophet or a pharaoh, an altar and a sacrifice? Where are Canaan and Bethlehem? Why was Jesus persecuted?Religious holidays and biblical stories play an important role in our calendar and our society, and not only for practicing Christians. This book includes the most familiar Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments, illustrated in great detail and incorporating flaps for children to turn on each spread. It also answers factual questions children have when reading or hearing these stories. Providing context for biblical stories helps children understand why people celebrate Christmas and Easter and Passover, and the origins of communion and baptism in the church. The book concludes with a look at how the Bible came to be in its current form, and where we still encounter it today.
