Last year, father Jan and sons Jan and Bas Blokker wrote Het vooroudergevoel, a unique story of Dutch history, illustrated with the classic school plates by JH Isings. This year they are writing 'Er was eens een god'. The biblical history. In this way, they tell a familiar story in their own way, in a historical context and with the beautiful plates by JH Isings.
The Bible is the best-selling book of all time, but it also always returns on lists of least-read books. Even the new translation by the Dutch Bible Society cannot prevent the book with all its laws and regulations, genealogies and censuses from being far from easily accessible. 'That's a shame,' think Jan Blokker and his sons Jan and Bas. 'It would be a shame if the awe that the Bible inspires prevents people from learning about the adventures of a people who took a demanding God as their guide and scourged themselves with his displeasure.' Inspired by the beauty and vitality of the Bible, they tell the age-old story in 'Once Upon a Time a God' in a lively and accessible way and place the text in a historical context. The book is illustrated with drawings that JH Isings made in 1950.
