Book Overview
In this highly useful book, pastor James O. Chatham invites clergy to use drama to proclaim the gospel. By adding simple dramas to sermons, a number of church members can be involved in making Bible passages come alive. Because many of the Bible stories are so good that they need little explanation, Enacting the Word shows that there is no more engaging way to tell these stories than through effective sermon drama. Chatham offers seven example dramas that are ready for use, complete with lines, stage directions, and a list of characters and needed props. Drawing from both New Testament and Old Testament texts, Chatham's dramas tell the stories of the persistent widow in Luke 18, of Rahab, and of Jonah; give testimony to the re-creative power of God, God's continued calling of God's people, and the import of the Easter story in modern contexts; and provide a lesson for discerning light from darkness.
