The Bible is rich in wonderful stories, powerful characters, and themes of love, life and death. This collection of monologues acts as an introduction to these stories for those scared off by the idea of a holy book, as well as encouraging others to look again at familiar passages and ideas. The 45 monologues cover Bible events and characters from Genesis to Revelation, including: Moses, Balaam, Samuel, Jonah, Levi and Zacchaeus, the Wise Men, and Lydia. Ranging in tone from humorous to serious, each one has a brief introduction containing guidelines for performance and points for further reflection or discussion.
