Add flesh and blood to some familiar biblical characters with this collection of short presentations which offers a humanizing glimpse into the lives of a dozen individuals who played crucial roles in Jesus' death and resurrection. Each dialogue is a brief biographical sketch, with one reader portraying the featured personality while a narrator provides background information and historical context. Peter, Mary Magdalene, Simon of Cyrene, Caiaphas, and Pontius Pilate are just some of the people Reece humanizes. These scripturally sound dramatic pieces can be used in a wide variety of situations, but are particularly appropriate for the Lent and Easter seasons, either as midweek programming, a sermon series, for Bible study, or as introductory material for a longer program. A complete list of scriptural references is included. Rolland R. Reece is a United Methodist pastor whose career has included positions with Goodwill Industries and United Cerebral Palsy in addition to assignments with five congregations. He is the author of Pastoral Prayers For All Seasons (CSS), as well as numerous articles in Christian magazines, denominational publications, and Ohio weekly newspapers. Reece is a graduate of Otterbein College, United Theological Seminary, and Kent State University.
