Walter Wangerin and Joanna Dewey give thoughtful, informed insights into the historical, social context of the stories and lead the viewer into explorations of the characters' motives and dilemmas. The actors discuss and plan how they will portray these people, what they might have been like, what their agendas could have been. The result is help in placing ourselves in their shoes as the universal quality of these parables comes alive for us in the present. I used this video in my class of senior highs on Sunday, and they commented without prompting that they liked this one much better than many they have seen. When teaching the parables, it is definitely a good discussion starter for junior highs through adults.
Real spirituality is life illuminated by a compelling. search for wholeness.
