Abstract

Participatory Drama Technique (PDT) is a type of sermon illustration that engages listeners in the process of discovering biblical truth via non-performance, audience-participation 'play' in the sermon. This project asserts that PDT use in a sermon greatly enhances listener ability to retain biblical truth. Six sermons in three pairs were delivered. Three sermons used PDT and three did not. Listeners were queried six weeks after each sermon by questionnaire to determine any difference in their ability to recall the sermon based upon the use of a PDT. The study indicated PDT to have real potential as an effective communication tool.
