Riassunto

What would you have thought if you had been in the stable where Jesus lay in a manger? What if you had seen Abraham with your own eyes as he was about to sacrifice his son? What if you could have seen Jesus overcome with doubt? Or the return of the Prodigal Son? Or Jesus hanging on the cross? This book contains some of the most beautiful Bible stories, retold from a unique point of view. Famous Dutch children's authors have let their imaginations run free to give a voice to some of the eyewitnesses depicted in Rembrandt's etchings. Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) was a unique storyteller. His etchings of biblical stories give the impression that he was right there, drawing on the spot, often including anonymous eyewitnesses. Rembrandt's Bible Stories tells these stories, the stories of ordinary people - and animals - caught up in extraordinary events. Stories about the essence of compassion, comfort, forgiveness, sorrow and charity.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Wat zou jij denken als je erbij was in de kerststal waar het kindje Jezus ligt? Wat als je zelf zag dat Abraham op het punt stond zijn zoon te offeren? Of hoe reageer je als er een hond poept terwijl er een Bijbelverhaal wordt verteld? In dit boek lees je de mooiste Bijbelverhalen, maar dan vertelt door beroemde kinderboekenschrijvers. Zij fantaseren over wat ooggetuigen, zoals Rembrandt die heeft geëtst, gedacht en gezegd zouden hebben. Verhalen van mensen zoals jij en ik over de essentie van mededogen, troost, vergeving, smart en naastenliefde.
