Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Over 90 stories from the Bible are vividly retold by David Kossoff in this long-running bestseller. David Kossoff first starting retelling Bible stories for BBC radio in the early sixties. He was so popular that he was given his own television series, made records and public performances, and even had one of his pieces set to music and premiered at the Festival Hall. In this collection of tales from the Old Testament, ranging from Adam and Eve to Daniel, he sets vivid scenes and brings characters to life with simplicity and imagination, reaching every time to the very heart of the story. "There is no more difficult task than to make the old new and the familiar interesting. This is the reason why I have read with such pleasure and delight David Kossoff's stories from the Bible. To my mind there is no doubt at all that he makes these stories come alive. He has the gift of making old stories new for he is a born storyteller." From the Foreword by William Barclay.

5.0 out of 5 stars Master storyteller brings the bible up to date, April 28, 2003
By 
This review is from: Bible Stories Retold by David Kossoff (Paperback)
This book is a joy to read and re-read. It is astonishing to hear familiar and unfamiliar bible stories 'read', for that is what he is effectively doing, in an easy modern day style. It makes one want to get out the old bible and compare the two styles. Kossof brings the characters alive in this way and so the impact of their lives is much stronger than in the old bibles, and it makes you realise their stresses and adventures are still the same today.
