This may be one of the "best rediscoveries" in some time at this end. It's for children, actually. That right, right where this scribe is...as a child and learner. If I were a Rector, I'd be meeting weekly with my S.S. teachers and going over these chapter-by-chapter. There are 4 volumes, but the effort by Mr. De Graaf to tell Bible stories--is just marvelous. One is reminded of Luther's dictum that a theologian is not a theologian until he sits on the ground with the children and teaches them the Creed, etc., line by line, in language they and the Dr. of Theology can both understand. This volume really makes that effort and, of course, like the Bible itself, with the good covenantal and redemptive theme throughout.
