ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Roussell, Shelia O'Connell / O'Connell-Roussell, Sheila / Shuck, Vicki, PUBLISHER: Saint Mary's Press, What better way to bring the Gospel alive for teens than through drama? Using reproducible scripts, the dramas in Lectionary-Based Gospel Dramas for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany "break open" the Gospels for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany, moving the hearts and minds of youth and adults alike. By engaging in these dramas, participants act as catechist, lector, Gospel players, improv artists, small-group leaders, and audience--a unique learning environment that allows young people to be catechists for themselves and for one another. The dramas are powerful yet easy to stage. The leader's role is purposefully minimal, allowing teens to take the leading roles in the production. These dramas have been used successfully in school classrooms, parish religious education programs, youth groups, RCIA catechesis, homiletic reflections at Mass, and retreats. This book contains everything you need to produce 10 dramas, including 10 reproducible scripts and 10 full-page icons by Vicki Shuck, which are an essential component for visual learners. Imagine the excitement and learning your teens will experience as they live the Gospel through drama

Preaching in Medieval England: An Introduction to Sermon

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Owst, G. R. / G. R., Owst, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, First published in , G. R. Owst's Preaching in Medieval England has remained a seminal work on the topic of English sermons of the period . In studying a largely neglected but important aspect of the medieval religious experience, the author adds considerably to our understanding of the pre-Reformation church. The book is in three parts - the preachers, the circumstances of the preaching and reception, and the sermons themselves. In the first section Owst discusses the different classes of preacher, the secular clergy, monks and particularly the wandering friars, famous for their preaching. In the second part he studies the experience of sermons, how, where and when they were delivered, and to whom. The examination of the sermons covers not only their content and language, but also the surviving manuals on preaching and eloquence, and advice to preachers. This wide ranging and scholarly book remains a crucial work on medieval preaching. Acquista Ora
