Johann Hübner (1668-1731) was a German geographer and scholar, who taught by the question and answer method. His children’s Bible Biblische Historien (1714) was designed for use in schools. It went through 270 editions and was translated into 15 European languages, making it "the most popular and longest selling Bible of its type". For clarification, he adapted biblical stories to more recent stories to teach values. COLR1826BDFB
