A Bíblia: uma Biblioteca de Livros para Todos - de Todas as Idades, Culturas e Gerações

Por que celebramos o Natal, o Dia de Reis, a Páscoa, a Ascensão, o Pentecostes? Por que razão a coroa de advento, prendas, estrelas, anjos, pastores são centrais no Natal? Por que comemos cabrito ou borrego na Páscoa? De onde nos vêm expressões como " daqui lavo as minhas mãos " ou " bode expiatório" ou "coisas do arco da velha"? Que está por detrás de tantas pinturas clássicas, de obras centrais da literatura mundial, de filmes como os Dez Mandamentos, o Príncipe do Egipto, The Climb? Que se entende por Verdade, Amor, Justiça, Gratidão, Compaixão, Arrependimento, Perdão...? Quem foi Eva, Adão, Abel, Caim, Sansão, David, Samuel, Rute, Débora, Daniel, Isaías ou Jeremias ?

INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF SINTRA - ESCOLA INTERNACIONAL DE SINTRA

The School is opening its doors to  Bible School Weeks for kids in Summer, so that young people may have some more information about this unique Book. The main topic was The Fruits of the Spirit.
The AcrossTheBible Project was invited to tell the junior section a  Bible parable on a Friday afternoon of July: THE GOOD SAMARITAN was the one chosen.
Here are some photos of the work done.

Cain and Abel: A GIFT TO GOD with different heart attitudes

Both knew that God is Creator and Giver of all good things.
But Cain offered something from the land, because he was supposed to bow before God, in reverence.
Abel came to God with his heart full of gratitude and offered the fattest parts of his flock.
One offered out of obligation; the other, Abel, out of genuine love.
God noticed that and was pleased with Abel. Noticing jealousy in Cain, God warned him:
SIN LIES AT YOUR DOOR ( of your mind and heart ). If you do not control it, it will control you.
God let Cain know that he had the possibility to choose to do the right thing and not the wrong one.
When murdering his brother Abel, Cain was exercising his free will, the wrong way.
There are CHOICES to make, we are to decide for the right one.

Here are some outcomes from students from Escola Secundária Rainha Dona Leonor in Lisbon.
