The dream...

To make available suitable scripts for any bible verse or passage.

There are already dramatised bibles available of course, but they are static once published. What I want is creative scripts that are true to what the bible says.

But it's a monster task to do the whole bible.

The Vision

The web makes this dream acheivable.

• Publication is rapid, so the collection stays fresh
• Copyright remains the responsibility of each individual site
• The community acts as overall editor, just by using the scripts that are helpful
• New authors can start easily
• Authors who only ever write one or two high quality scripts can contribute (I suspect there are lots of you out there)

It doesn't matter if there's more than one index, any more than it matters if there's more than one script for a particular passage (in fact it's a very good idea). The web allows us to have alternatives at little overhead. Others have already started, see the links below. And we'll never finish, until He returns.

You can help in lots of ways, including...

1. Put your own original scripts, ideas, etc onto the web. Put some thought into copyright (and don't don't don't steal!), but I just want to link to your stuff not copy it. I recommend using the Christian Mime and Drama template for consistency, but I don't insist on it.
2. Email me the URL so I can index it and link to it!
3. Contact and encourage the authors whose work you use.
4. Pray for the venture. All Christian performers are in a position of exceptional temptation, and many fall. I think the promise in Mark 16:18 is important, but we need to claim it.

I'd also like to hear about other suitable links as you find them.

The Resources

Biblical Indexes

Scripts in This Collection

• Christmas Eve. A modern soapie interpretation.
• Gideon. Despite several popular scripts to the contrary, the bible doesn't make him out such a wimp.
• The Philippian Jailer. Setting of the passage from Acts which while useful in itself is also a good example of what can be done.
• The Critic. A challenging one-act skit for worship, which seeks to question the values of large-budget secular entertainment.

Mind you those who've seen them in action will want to visit their page whatever I say about it.
