Features: This is a book about the stories of the Bible. I wrote it because I believe you should have a better understanding of the Bible. I cannot tell you exactly where to find the knowledge I am asking you to learn, but I might ask you to read the original texts, although I cannot be sure you will do so. For many years, children of your age have often been repelled by the solemn image of the Bible and the attitude that only certain people are allowed to believe in sacred texts. Hendrik Willem van Loon published over thirty books in his lifetime, recounting almost the entire history of humanity single-handedly. It is truly admirable that he dared to challenge the infinite with his finite life. Van Loon was not an obscure theorist, but he certainly had his own system and ideas. The main content of this book includes a literary heritage, the legend of creation, pioneers, continuing westward, a temporary stay in Egypt, escaping slavery, wandering in the wilderness, seeking new pastures, conquering the land of Canaan, the story of Ruth, the Jewish kingdom, the civil war between the north and the south, and more.
