Reviews

Norman A. Bert is priested with a rare gift: his writings offer a unique theological dialectic where not only do scripture and the Christian faith speak to the human condition, but the human condition imaginatively `speaks back' to scripture and the Christian faith. If your faith community struggles each holiday season with how to bring fresh spiritual insights into the most familiar and sometimes hackneyed Christian narratives and holy days, Bert's plays offer creative and thought-provoking alternatives to celebrating our most treasured Christian traditions. -Rev. David Lee Jones, Th.D., Director, Doctor of Ministry Program, Nashotah House Theological Seminary If your church is looking to do something a little edgy, something that might even take guts, then take and read. Norman A. Bert's plays have grit and marrow and will definitely get the people talking in the parking lot afterward. -Rev. Ryon Price, M.Div., Senior Pastor, Broadway Baptist Church, Fort Worth, Texas
