The Bible's Greatest Stories

3.8/5 ( ratings)

From the awe-inspiring account of the Creation to the defeats and triumphs of the Children of Israel and the life, death, and Resurrection of Jesus, here are the greatest stores from the greatest book ever written, presented in a new and more accessible form for contemporary readers. Enhanced with generous annotation, Paul Roche's brilliant retelling of these stories is at once impeccably accurate and poetically true. He bring vividly to life the saga of Joseph of the coat of many colors, the drama of the fall of Jericho, the young David's heroism Bathsheba, the glory and wisdom of Solomon, the bravery of Judith, who saved her nation by killing an Assyrian general, the dark despair of Job, the faith of Daniel in the lion's den, the joy of the Nativity, and the miracle of the resurrection. These are just a few of the many great biblical stories - whose influence pervade practically all aspects of our culture - presented in this masterful new tranalation by a distinguished poet and scholar.
