About the book >.>.> Old Testament precedent We like to think that further encouragement is given to the exercise of dramatising the Bible for worship by one special discovery. It does appear that the Hebrew people in Temple worship used drama to rehearse the acts of God in their history-notably the crossing of the Red Sea and their deliverance from the slavery of Egypt. Such dramatic presentations were not entertainment-though they would have been marvellously entertaining. And they were far more than visual aids-though Hebrew faith did require each generation to recall before the next God’s saving interventions so that his mercy and his demands would not be forgotten. The Hebrew dramas had a teaching role and they were acts of worship too-precedents of our own ‘anamnesis’ or calling to mind of the saving work of Christ in the drama we term according to our Christian tradition ‘The Lord’s Supper/The Holy Communion’/”The Eucharist’/’The Mass’.
