Though most conservative evangelicals hold to the belief that the Bible is the Word of God in propositional form, Mr. Richards regretfully observes that this conviction "has not preserved us from communicating Bible truths inadequately and, at times, wrongly. It is with the sole desire," he continues, "that God's life-changing truth might be taught in a life-changing way that I submit this book." Creative Bible Teaching presents the Christian educator with insights into the theory and practice of Bible teaching. It also strives to give the lay teacher practical ways to improve and update his teaching. Mr. Richards reaches both of these groups in three separate, yet integrated, sections. Creative Bible Teaching is a comprehensive encyclopedia to the basis, approach, and methods of Bible teaching -- Bible teaching that will communicate God's Word in a contemporary, relevant manner. - Jacket flap.
