The roots of modern European civilization, identity and thought can be found in the Old and New Testaments – but Vopěnka takes a more modern and didactic approach in this simplified literary form of biblical stories. He does not hesitate to use references to the present, to point out biblical contradictions or to recall current scientific knowledge. His biblical stories speak to today’s children. They are the minimum that every European should know in order to understand himself, his European roots. This book has no age limit. Just as the Bible has many layers, even here smaller and older children can find their material and even adults can draw a kind of biblical minimum from it.
