Carmen Bernos de Gasztold is known for her collection of short poems that express the prayers of various animals on Noah's Ark, and "Prayers from the Ark" is her most famous work, which has also been translated into Croatian.
This booklet was written at a time of very strong and turbulent turmoil in the field of biblical research, that is, at a time of a new direction in the biblical movement.
Well-researched, concise, and provocative, the book by renowned religious historian S. G. F. Brandon remains influential in biblical criticism, inspiring authors such as Reza Aslan. It shows how history is mostly written by the victors.
The book is written simply, warmly, and directly. While critical, it is never hostile. It is intended to stimulate dialogue and encourage bishops to better understand the daily lives of ordinary believers.
