The Holy Scripture did not fall from the sky. Faithful science journalist Martin Urban shows how to properly understand the Bible. The Bible is the most powerful book in world history. Like every creature, it has a biography. The Bible also has a family history with parents (God the Father and the Holy Spirit) and ancestors (the gods and goddesses of the Ancient Orient). It has a history of development, a history of interpretations, effects, and side effects - each of which has its own story. Those who read the Bible without additional information cannot recognize this. The stories of Moses, Noah, or the Queen of Sheba have a historical background. The accounts and interpretations of Jesus' life by the evangelists and apostles are incomplete without knowledge of the books of the Old Testament, the Bible of Jesus and his disciples.
