Divine revelation encompasses human creativity. The Word of God is more than words -- more than a compilation of wise sayings and philosophical principles, however profound and beneficial these might be, more than an appeal to intellectual assent, as important as that is. The Word of God intends to grip us -- heart, mind, and soul; emotion, reason, and imagination.... We long to feel as well as to know God. -- from the IntroductionRay Kostulias breathes new life into well-known and not so well known characters from the Hebrew Scriptures -- and adds new flesh to dry bones. Using three key elements of drama -- character, story, and suspense -- and enlivening the sometimes dusty readings of Scripture with feelings, expressions, gestures, body language, pained silences, and bursts of exuberance, he inventively and successfully shows that fears, failures, doubts, memories, and hopes were for them, and are for us, a primary source of revelation.Through the resonant voices of Hagar, Esau, Leah, Reuben, Zipporah, Gideon, Naomi, Jonathan, Abishag, and Zadok, you will come to know the people of God -- and God's divine message.I Witness is designed for use in worship, spiritual retreats, Bible study, religious education, mission, and evangelism. It will be a welcome resource for both clergy and laity in the journey of faith.
