| Summary | "Shorter Bible Plays" by Rita Benton is a collection of religious drama written in the early 20th century. The work presents a series of shorter plays that adapt well-known Bible stories for staging, making them accessible for children and educational purposes within church settings. The plays seek to engage young audiences in biblical narratives through performance, fostering both understanding and creativity. At the start, the book introduces the editor's perspective on the importance of religious pageantry and the dramatic expression of biblical events, emphasizing how children can learn more vividly through acting out these stories. The opening portion details the structure of the plays, the intended audience, and the purpose behind using these dramatizations in religious education. Specifically, it mentions "Noah's Flood," setting the scene with characters as Noah, his family, and the mocking children, and hints at the moral foundations tied to faith and obedience to God as they build the ark amid ridicule.
