LEGENDS OF THE BIBLE is a kaleidoscope of tales, a key to many of the richest literary and artistic traditions of the western world: Adam's ascent into Heaven in a chariot, Abraham's trial by fire and others. This is storytelling with a grain of salt and a lot of wit; tales springing from the antiquity of oral tradition, and containing many of the same spiritual values found in the Bible, yet seen in new dimensions. Each tale has come through hundreds of generations of people whose thoughts and deeds were transformed by The Book.
