The book that initially excited me about this whole area was Oral Communication of the Scripture by Herbert Klem; William Carey Library 1981/82. One of those monographs printed in Courier type. Amazon list it as unavailable. But if you can get a copy it is worth reading.
Thanks Andrew, added to the list!
Hi Tim
I am reading ‘Making Disciples of Oral Learners’ (Lop 54 Lausanne), specifically the section on reproducibility which discusses ‘…whether a storying approach is viable for a sustained, indigenous-led church planting movement.’ The question that I would like to pose is, what would an indigenous church, one that focused on storying without being influenced by traditional church paradigm or literature, look like in Gloucester?
