The Story Bible by Pearl S. Buck
By Pearl S. BuckIn this stunning accomplishment from the great Nobel & Pulitzer Prize-winning author, 72 major stories from the Old & New Testaments are retold in the language of today--the Creation of the World and the Garden of Eden; the Tower of Babel; Jesus in the Wilderness;
The beloved author of The Good Earth, one of the world's greatest literary masterpieces, viewed both the Old and New Testaments as glorious stories to be read and reread through the generations.
The Story Bible is a stunning accomplishment from a great writer. The Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author took seventy-two major 'stories' and retold them in the language of today, combining the exciting flavor of history with the accessibility and drama of fiction.
The Story Bible is for young and old, for readers familiar with the Bible, and for those for whom it will be an introduction. And most importantly, it is for everyone, regardless of one's religious views. Here, in words that reflect Pearl S. Buck's awesome talent to bring human courage and human compassion vividly to life, are the stories of the Creation of the World and the Garden of Eden, Noah and the Flood, the Tower of Babel, the Ten Commandments, Jesus in the Wilderness, the Raising of Lazarus, the Way to the Cross, and so much more. Both the Old and the New Testaments are complete -- told memorably, magically, masterfully.
