The book sets out the most famous biblical stories that are included in the cultural fund of humanity and have been repeatedly used in world literature and art. The stories proposed by the author reveal the long, sometimes painful and bloody history of humanity’s path to God and its falling away from him. The New Testament in his interpretation is an exciting dramatic story about the earthly journey of Christ, full of psychological guesses and historical comments.

The original literary form used by the author, the modern scientific interpretation of the plots, motifs, and images of the Bible will undoubtedly enrich the reader, will introduce him to the great monument of human culture.

The book is richly illustrated with reproductions of engravings by the famous French artist G. Doré.
