In the history of mankind, there is no book more important than the Bible. She is not only a teacher of the Christian faith, she is the basis of all European culture, including Orthodox culture. The first translation of the Bible into the Slavic language was made back in the ninth century by Cyril and Methodius, who are rightfully considered “the first teachers and educators of the Slavs.” The second part of the Bible is the New Testament, a collection of 27 Christian books that include the four Gospels, the book of Revelations of John, or the Apocalypse, and the epistles and acts of the holy apostles. The main books of the New Testament, the Gospels, tell about the birth, life, preaching, death on the cross of Jesus Christ and his resurrection. Retold by G. A. Krylov. Discover the world of the Bible, which is important and close to us today. This richly illustrated publication includes the main stories from the New Testament. The author of the illustrations for this book is the famous St. Petersburg artist Nikolai Lavrukhin, a member of the Union of Artists of Russia, an associate professor at the St. Petersburg State Academy of Arts and Industry, where he heads the book graphics workshop. In 1999, he was elected Member of the Petrovsky Academy of Sciences and Arts. N. Lavrukhin devoted two years of hard work to working on illustrations for the project “Biblical Traditions.” For middle and high school age.
