Does Gods verhaal begint also contain the New Testament?

Read the subtitle and ISBN together

The common name Het grote Bijbelverhalenboek may suggest a collection of the entire Bible. Bee Gods verhaal begint the subtitle actually provides direction. Check ISBN 9789089123725 when looking for this first part. A store image alone is not enough for a series.

Who does a separate Old Testament section work for?

The publisher focuses the retellings on children aged approximately four to eight years. A separate section can be useful if you want to get to know those stories with attention. If you also want to be able to choose stories about Jesus during the same period, keep a second collection or a children's Bible with both Testaments at hand.

The stories have multiple creators

The publisher mentions, among other things: Corien Oranje, Melanie van de Peut and Willemijn de Weerd. The stories come from Bijbel Basics. The reading guide helps the reader to understand choices and structure. The scope of the method is not automatically the scope of this one book.

Order is a choice, not an admission requirement

Starting with the Old Testament can make coherence visible, but a child does not have to finish this part first to hear a story about Jesus. Choose the story that matches your reading moment and calmly fill in any missing context. Compare with the Prentenbijbel if you prefer to use one wide bundle.
