Stories about Jesus
Stories about Jesus Christ is the New Testament part of The Institute for Bible Translation's popular book The Bible for Children. It is a collection of retold Bible stories and direct quotations from the Bible.

Stories about Jesus Christ was first published in Russian, then translated into Kurmanji, Crimean Tatar, Karakalpak, Nenets and a number of other languages. In some of the publications, illustrations by local artists were used. In 2002, the book was translated into Georgian by Roin Kondzhariy and published with illustrations by David Popiashvili.

David Popiashvili created more than 30 complete paintings, reflecting the earthly life of Jesus Christ. The book became popular not only among the Georgian readers, but also among Russians and Europeans. The main concept of the project was to see the illustrations and the text as a whole, so for those who did not understand the Georgian text, one dimension was lost.

Thus, an idea was born to publish the text parallelly in three languages: Georgian, Russian and English. The English translation was made by Anna-Lena Hansson.

Modern information technology gives room for creative fantasies and one more aspect was added to the initial idea — to make audio recordings of the texts. It is now possible not only to enjoy the pictures and read the text in English, Georgian and Russian, but you can also listen to text in the different languages.
