The Dramatization of Bible Stories An experiment in the religious education of children

"The Dramatization of Bible Stories" by Elizabeth Miller Lobingier is a book about teaching religion to kids in a new way. It talks about how acting out Bible stories can help children learn and understand them better. The book shares an experiment that used plays to get kids thinking and expressing themselves. It tells the story of a drama club for kids at a church in Chicago, where they turned Bible stories into plays. The main idea is that kids should be in charge of making these plays, so they can learn by critiquing and improving their ideas. This way, they don't just learn stories about people like Joseph, David, and Esther, but also understand the meaning and lessons behind them, all while working together and being creative.
