Words can become ordinary. The great words of our lives, which were once so moving and fiery, no longer say anything to us. Even the word of God can dull. Some stories and poems from the Bible may be too familiar to us and no longer resonate. In his biblical condensations, Andreas Knapp seeks to give worn-out words a new shine. Stories and scenes from the Bible are distilled to their essence. What is all too familiar suddenly sounds refreshingly new and sparks curiosity for a re-examination of the Book of Books.
