Bible stories

Tales from Genesis

Narratives from the Bible, typically retold in simplified or accessible form for religious education or general readership.

Bible stories encompass tales from both the Old and New Testaments—creation, the flood, Moses, David, Jesus's parables—and form a cultural foundation in much of the Western world: The children's book retold classic Bible stories with colorful illustrations. (Lowercase bible stories is a less formal variant.)
