Známé knihy rozpoznáváme zpravidla podle hlavních postav a filmy podle slavných herců a hereček. Nejhlubší příběhy se však nejlépe poznají podle kvality zpracování vedlejších postav. Také Bible má svou „Superstar“ a mnoho dalších proslulých postav, které nalezneme v každém výběru biblických textů. Bible však nachází místo nejen pro velké a věhlasné hrdiny a hrdinky, ale vypráví i stovky malých příhod obyčejných lidí, kteří se ve filmech většinou skrývají pod titulkem „dále hráli“. Převyprávěním těchto příhod ožívají v Bibli jen letmo zmíněné okolnosti a vztahy, takže se na velké i malé příhody můžeme podívat novýma očima.
