The authors promise that the humor never buries the central message. But some settings are really far removed from the biblical counterpart.
Some skits are funny if chosen and used carefully.
Then you're ready for the next wave of participatory Bible studies, Spontaneous Melodramas . But they did the creative work in the scripts, the prop lists, and the leader's hints that accompany the biblical texts from which the melodramas are loosely adapted. One script calls for the actors to pick their noses and wipe their fingers on each other. While this might be hilarious at a junior high camp, I'd recommend a rewrite for a Sunday night worship service. With discretion and minor adjustments on some of the scripts, you'll still generate some good clean fun.
