Children's New Testament Bible Stories

Fr. Tadros Malaty, a prolific Coptic Orthodox theologian, presents key New Testament narratives in child-accessible language alongside traditional Coptic iconographic illustrations by Tasony Sawsan. What sets this apart from mainstream Bible storybooks is the distinctive Coptic art tradition — the illustrations are unlike what most American families will have seen in children's religious publishing. The wide age range of four to twelve makes it a resource parents can return to across years of religious education. The book is firmly grounded in Coptic Orthodox tradition, which is its strength for that community and its natural limitation for readers outside it. Production and distribution are more modest than mainstream publishers. For Coptic Christian families and educators, this is a faithful and visually distinctive resource.
