Biblické příběhy pro nevěřící děti – Vopěnka Martin (2025)

Stories of Our Civilization

How can we defend European civilization when we do not know its roots? How can we defend our identity when we do not even know what European thought has grown from?

This accessible educational book by Martin Vopěnka can help us with that. Do not expect just a simplified literary form of biblical stories, as we know it from Ivan Olbracht, for example. Vopěnka approaches the legacy of the Bible, both the Old and New Testament, in a modern way. And also more didactically. He does not hesitate to use references to the present, point out biblical contradictions, or remind us of contemporary scientific knowledge. The biblical stories in his rendition speak to today's children. They are the minimum that every European should know to understand themselves and their European roots.

This book has no age limit. Just as the Bible has many layers, so too can children in primary and secondary schools find their material here, and adults can draw from it a kind of biblical minimum.
