Summary "Young Folks' Bible in Words of Easy Reading" by Josephine Pollard is a children's adaptation of biblical stories, likely written in the late 19th century. The book simplifies traditional biblical texts and presents them in accessible language for young readers, aiming to instill a genuine love for the Bible. Through these retellings, it provides foundational stories from both the Old and New Testaments, featuring key figures like Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Jesus. The opening of this adaptation sets the stage for an engaging exploration of the stories from the Bible. It begins by explaining the concept of the Bible as God’s will to humanity, tailored for children's understanding. It emphasizes the importance of stories in conveying moral and religious lessons, presenting a narrative journey from Creation, the Fall of Adam and Eve, the Great Flood, to the lives of key biblical figures. Pollard's focus is on making these stories relatable, encouraging young readers to learn and appreciate the significance of their faith through the rich narratives that have shaped religious culture.
