Bibliolog - Impulse für Gottesdienst, Gemeinde und Schule. Band 1: Grundformen

'Bibliolog' is a method to experience the bible as alive and important for one?s own life. A group, congregation or school class discovers the stories of the bible, interprets them by placing themselves into the minds of the biblical figures and answer questions that the text leaves open. Discovered by the American Jew Peter Pitzele this approach has its roots in the Jewish tradition of Midrash. Whether we have been socialised by the church or not, we are quickly touched and moved by the biblical texts and directly experience the actuality. Bibliolog has quickly spread through the German speaking regions and the growing experience with this approach throughout Europe has lead to its presentation in two volumes. The first volume presents the basic forms that can be conducted in groups of any size over a short time period. The second volume presents forms that allow for more intense encounters with the biblical text.
