Ist Die Bible Wirlich Das Wort Gottes?
Gary Goldstein
1991
I found the same book - ’Is the Bible really the work of God?’ - published by the Jehovah Witnesses in several languages. They published according to the first pages of the edition, in over 200 volumes. Living in Jerusalem I was surrounded and preoccupied with religion and belief, and therefore attracted by these religious texts. The images in the book, done with ink and markers, are a kind of Rorschach. But a Rorschach that expresses the physical and emotions feeling of internal stress, a particular feeling in my stomach, that I recognized as a child at night and that stayed with me ever since.
