| Summary: | Together in God’s Theatre is Ian Nell’s monograph concerning a theodramatic approach to explain practical theology within an African context. He locates his approach as aesthetic and considers theo-drama useful in theology as "drama is ‘story’ by nature with a plot that unfolds and emphasizes the unity of action over a period’ (xi). His aim is to use both the read and performed aspects of drama to "help shape the field of practical theology" (xiii) and he does so by means of drama-related categories such as setting the stage (establishing what theology is), the stage (micro, meso, and macro perspectives), the script (texts, both biblical and cultural), theplot (performed activities), and the characters (faith communities and individuals). |
