B 91 Performing Scripture

£2.77

All the texts that make up our Bible come from cultures that were primarily oral, rather than employing written communication. That means that these texts were most often heard rather than read, and understanding both the texts and ancient rhetorical practice help us see the drama with which they were performed. 

This careful guide explores the implications of this, and shows how we can recapture in the local church the dynamism with which these texts were originally communicated.

Extra resources for this book: Images, Ephesians example, Jonah example, Lord's Prayer example.
