This easy-to-read book encapsulates the essence of what drama and the church have in common. It helps to break down misconceived perceptions of the purposes and usefulness of the concept of using drama as an effective method of communicating — particularly within the church.
The book can be split into three sections:
1. The history and background of drama and how it is connected with the church — covering similarities, differences, techniques and the reason why drama has been used as a resource.
