Christian Belief

The Baptist

Details
Garth von Buchholz
Scripts Since 2007
12 October 2024

User Rating: 4 / 5

Summary: There are elements in this drama that are extra-biblical, particularly John's revelation about “light bending in water.” To anyone who even does a casual reading of the biblical account about John, it will be obvious that John had no such revelation. The John of this play, however, is a John who speaks to a modern audience so that he can articulate the magnificent knowledge he has received about the Messiah. 

Style: Dramatic monologue

Duration: 20 mins

Scripture: Luke 1:57-80, Matt 3:1-17, Mark 1:1-8, John 1: 19-34

Setting: A dark cell in Herod’s prison, Machaerus

Characters: John the Baptist

Summary: The congregation gets unceremoniously blind-sided during a routine scripture reading by a seemingly irreverent bible-time teacher with a modern day lesson about why we worship and read scripture.

Key words: Scripture / Respect / The Bible / Performing / Self-Righteousness / Worship / Audience.

Psalm 36 - Great is the Lord

Details
Eric Schmidt
Scripts Since 2007
18 August 2007

User Rating: 5 / 5

Summary : Readers Theatre script for small cast, based on Psalm 36, optionally supported by a classical choral composition and a more recent, popular tune. This is an interpretative drama that demonstrates God's love. Keywords: Worship, God, Psalm 36
NOTE: An interpretive drama (Reader’s Theatre) is one in which cast members keep a copy of the script and hold it throughout the performance. They face the audience (never looking at each other) with very little movement. The inflection of the voice (interpretation) in the performance and the repetition of the script are what make this type of drama stand out.
Style: Drama.  Duration: 4min
Actors: 4M/F
Scripture: Psalm 36 (with emphasis on vv5-10)
