The Divine Drama

Introduction

The Divine Drama is an ideal faith-formation course for young people and adults alike. It is divided into 30 units, which work well for a full academic year's worth of intermediate-depth study.

The first 16 units, titled The Biblical Narrative, take people on an unforgettable journey through the Bible's big story. The second 14 units, titled Our Narrative, equip people to understand the Bible's key themes and teachings, such as the Trinity, sin & grace, prayer, the sacraments, Christian living, and eschatology.

Throughout, students learn how the evens of the Old Testament interrelate and set the stage for the life and mission of Jesus the Messiah, as revealed in the New Testament. They also learn what it means to know Jesus as Saviour, and to follow Him as Lord in servant-discipleship.

With 136 full-colour teaching graphics, The Divine Drama enables students of any age to relate their faith to daily life. It is well suited to:

  • Confirmation/youth education
  • Adult education
  • New member orientation
  • Discipleship programs
