In this concise handbook the author shares insights into group Bible study gained during his long years of experience as a missionary and ecumenist, demonstrating how Bible study can focus on the Bible not only as a literary document but also as oral tradition in story-telling and singing, as drama in worship and symbolic acts, as visible Word through art and as a source of meditation. He devotes a chapter to each of these five approaches, illustrating how it has been used throughout the history of the church and then offering tested and practical suggestions for animating actual Bible studies along these lines.
