The Book of Witnesses by David Kossoff Hardcover Signed 1972

On offer a hardcover “The Book of Witnesses” by David Kossoff, signed on the title page by David Kossoff

The reception of David Kossoff’s Old Testament Bible stories was overwhelming and the clamour for a sequel was insistent.

It may well be asked, “How does a Jew come to be writing the story of Jesus from the annunciation to the resurrection?” The Old Testament, yes of course, but the New Testament? What other sequel could there be to the Old Testament but the New.

One day sitting bored and frustrated in front of a blank sheet of paper his own story of the three donkeys suddenly came back into his mind. He asked himself the question, “Why was the story a success and what was the formula he had used?” The solution came to him in a flash. The donkeys were witnesses of great events. Each donkey told his own story, seen through his own eyes and in his own words.

This must be his formula. witnesses of Jesus’s life on earth, witnesses who were there at the time, faces in the crowd who must have been there. They must tell the story.
