Explore the art of building a bridge back to the world of the Bible and then bringing the drama back to our generation

Compelling teaching rests on an emotional connection with the characters in the Biblical drama and so the seminar will ponder first “The Power of Connection” and then next how to explore ways to utilize tension in the telling of the biblical narrative in ways that help listeners wonder “What’s at Stake?” in both the biblical story and its implications for our lives today.

Part 2 includes conversations with 2014 Symposium preachers on how they accomplished this in their Symposium sermons based on the Book of Exodus.

Presented at the 2014 Symposium
