Robbins intends for these eighteen dramas to provoke reflection and discussion. Designed to be read aloud by one, two, three, four, or more "provocateurs," they require no special sets and only a few simple props. The creative and playful readings bring alive central doctrines of the Christian faith while addressing everyday human concerns. In this collection you will find such intriguing titles as: "The Adam And Eve Story" (males and females) "The Story of Job For Today" (evil) "Getting It Together" (vocation) "Bad Brother Comes Home" (forgiveness) ... and many more! Each selection in Provocables! is biblically based and includes a brief commentary and a set of questions to guide discussion. Jerry K. Robbins, currently the Lutheran Campus Pastor at West Virginia University, has served in campus ministry for over three decades. He is a graduate of Gettysburg College, Yale University Divinity School, and the Hartford Seminary Foundation, where he earned his Ph.D. Robbins is the editor of The Essential Luther and the author of Carevision.
