Nội dung cuốn hút, tái hiện toàn bộ Cựu Ước và Tân Ước

Phần Cựu Ước kể những câu chuyện thánh của dân Israel, từ khi vũ trụ được tạo dựng, qua các tổ phụ Abraham, Isaac, Jacob với lời hứa Thiên Chúa ban đất Canaan và dòng dõi đông đúc. Tiếp đến là hành trình của Moses, người giải phóng dân Israel khỏi cảnh nô lệ và nhận Thập Giới – giao ước giữa Thiên Chúa và dân Israel.

Phần Tân Ước ghi lại hành trình cứu độ nhân loại của Đức Jesus – Con Thiên Chúa nhập thể. Từ khi sinh ra trong lòng Trinh Nữ Mary, Người loan báo Tin Mừng, làm phép lạ, chọn 12 tông đồ và chịu khổ nạn, phản bội rồi bị đóng đinh trên thập giá. Sau khi phục sinh, Người giao sứ mạng truyền bá Tin Mừng cho các tông đồ, dẫn đến sự hình thành Giáo Hội Kitô hữu, lan tỏa niềm tin khắp thế giới.

Phần cuối sách là một bảng tổng hợp đầy đủ tên của các nhân vật cùng các địa danh xuất hiện trong Kinh Thánh kèm phiên âm tiếng Việt và một chỉ mục để độc giả tiện tra cứu khi cần.

“Ước mong rằng “Những Câu Chuyện Kể Hay Nhất Trong Kinh Thánh” sẽ mở ra nguồn cảm hứng để quý độc giả tìm đến và đọc trọn bộ Kinh Thánh, một bộ sách kinh điển làm cho biết bao con người bình dị trở nên “vĩ đại”, đồng thời cũng là bộ sách được lịch sử ghi nhận và mộ mến qua mọi thế hệ.” - Học Viện Đa Minh

All kinds of visual tricks are featured, including distortion, motion, colour and brightness, ambiguous illusions, impossible objects, hidden images... but the stars of the show are two large interactive illusions - the "thaumatrope" spinner that puts a bird in a cage, and a 3D perspective sculpture.
