Who is in the Bible Big Book

We have learnt that the Bible is a big book of God’s words that tell God’s story. But God’s story is all about people. In the Bible, we find out about how the people God made lived in the world God made. In the Bible, we find out if people lived faithfully with God as their Great King, or if they were unfaithful. This term, we will learn about who is in the Bible and how they lived in God’s world.
