The Sound of Scripture - Barbara Laughlin Adler - Bog

"They read from the book, from the Law of God, clearly, and they gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading."" (Nehemiah 8:8)
Just as it was in Nehemiah's time, congregations today want to hear Biblical texts read clearly - giving the sense. But the reality is that oral readings during worship services are often inaudible, mumbled, monotonous, or delivered at a rapid "machine-gun" pace.

This brief guidebook provides simple techniques, so that parish lay readers can read with clarity and express the meaning of the Bible's messages. The Sound of Scripture will greatly enhance the ability of readers to communicate God's Word clearly, giving the sense.

""Dr. Adler offers a sensitive and fresh approach which should certainly be extremely helpful for pastors, vicars, lay readers, Sunday School teachers, or any who are called upon to read the Bible in public.""
