À propos de cette écoute
The Old Testament is not only an inspired canon of scripture but also stands among the finest works in English literature. Its many tales of angels and demons, heroes and villains, breath-taking miracles and heart-stirring prophecies ensure its appeal not only as a book of instruction and inspiration but also of fascination and enchantment. Above all, it is a book of stories, originally intended to be told to enthralled audiences via the oral tradition. Despite many translations, and having been transcribed now through many centuries, these great tales of old have never lost their power to touch hearts and open minds wherever they are told, in whatever culture or tongue.
This new work offers a retelling of 15 of the canon’s best-known stories. Delivered with the color and wonder of the storyteller’s craft, while remaining faithful to the Bible’s presentation, they will delight young and old listeners alike. Each story presented in this audiobook is also available as a separate title.
Clive Johnson is an interfaith minister, teacher, and storyteller. This is his eleventh book.

Commentaires
"The tales from the Old Testament are as familiar and comfortable as pot roast for Sunday dinner, yet these are new and fresh in lively retellings by Clive Johnson. Using great storytelling techniques and modern language, Johnson makes these fifteen tales nearly dance off the pages." (San Francisco Book Review)
"Accessible, enlightening pieces that lend to read-aloud drama, bringing to life not just the tales but their underlying lessons. These stories don't just lend to read-aloud, but beg to be performed.... Embracing drama and adventure, but adding the moral, ethical, and spiritual flourishes necessary to open dialogues about the Bible's underlying lessons, making them far more than just a rehash of the originals.... Christians who look for a better way of imparting these complex messages to a younger audience than is typical for these Old Testament stories will find Tales Of Old: Stories from the Old Testament just the ticket for family enjoyment." (Midwest Book Review)
"A read-aloud compilation for children and adults...encouraging a revival of the oral tradition of storytelling.... Using simple language and vivid imagery, including perspectives on each story’s meaning or lesson...illuminating the modern relevance of these ancient writings." (BlueInk Review)
