It starts at the very beginning, with the creation of the world, all the plants, animals, and finally humans. It traces the first roots of Christianity and Judaism, looking at the first patriarchs and their successive covenants with God. The text is illustrated with artwork, specially commissioned from Italian artists, and there are maps to indicate where the events took place. Special context feature panels provide information on the story. This volume is part of a series of eight titles covering both the Old and New Testaments.

Moses and the Plagues of Egypt
When the Pharoah refused to releas the Israelites from slavery, God sent the ten plagues upon Egypt. The ten plagues were: water turning to blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness and the killing of firstborn children.

Cain and Abel
The sons of Adam and Eve both made offerings to God, but God preferred Abel's offering and told them both so. Cain was cross, fought with his brother and killed him. And when God asked him where Abel was, Cain replied "I know not: am I my brother's keeper?".

Adam and Eve
God puts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and tells Adam he can eat what he likes except for the apples from the tree of knowledge and goodwill. A serpent deceives Eve into eating the forbidden fruit, and she gives some to Adam. Both now have the ability to conceive of shame and evil and to punish them God banishes them from the Garden of Eden.

Noah and the Flood
God sends a flood to rid the earth of evil, but spares Noah, his family and the world's animals. He warns Noah to build an ark and seven days before the deluge instructs him to get them all into the ark for safety. After the flood waters subside the ark comes to rest on the mountains of Ararat. God then instructs Noah and his family, and all the animals to leave the ark and repopulate the world.
