Six Biblical Plays for Contemporary Audiences

Arts & Literature

“These biblically based plays remind us of Jesus' method of teaching the multitudes through stories rather than directly through lectures. Robin does what Eugene Peterson said (using words from an Emily Dickinson poem) about Jesus with the parables--'Tell it slant.' Her technique works equally well with audiences that do not have a background of biblical knowledge and with those who think they know all about the Bible.”
