聖經的故事（英文原版）（彩色插圖珍藏版）

　　《聖經》是人類歷史上一部獨一無二的書。它由不同時代的人用不同的語言寫成，卻極其貫通；它遭到無數的懷疑甚至詆毀，但最終它作為神經經典的位置卻絲毫沒有動搖；它不是單純的文學書、哲學書或歷史書，但它是很多文學作品的源泉，哲學家不斷地引用和討論，它對猶太古史的詳盡記載也遠遠超過其他民族的古史書。《聖經》是人類的偉大遺產。

　　而《聖經》原典的莊嚴肅穆常使人望而生畏。經由房龍通俗有趣的寫作手法，將其轉換為概略簡要的「聖經故事」，不僅保留了《聖經》原典的精神，也使讀者輕鬆進入《聖經》世界。房龍用樸素睿智、寬容的聲音講述古老故事的同時，也演繹出了《聖經》故事背後的浩大人類歷史進程。如此博大而神秘的《聖經》，房龍卻能讓這部書連普通人都能看懂。《聖經的故事》實為房龍超越《聖經》原典的著作。

　　簡潔優美的英文和忠實流暢的中文對譯，再配上繪製的插圖，將給你的閱讀帶來無窮樂趣。
