"Principles and Technique in Religious Dramatics" is a foundational guide designed for educators, clergy, and lay leaders who seek to integrate theatrical arts into spiritual and moral instruction. Written by Elisabeth Edland, a specialist in the field of religious education through performance, this work provides a detailed exploration of the artistic and pedagogical methods required to stage meaningful dramatic presentations within a church or community context.

The book covers the essential elements of theatrical production, including directing, acting, and the technical aspects of staging, all while maintaining a focus on the specific spiritual objectives of religious theater. Edland offers practical advice on script selection, the psychology of performance, and the use of pageantry as a tool for illustrating complex theological themes. By bridging the gap between professional stagecraft and the unique requirements of sacred settings, this volume provides a comprehensive framework for using drama as a vehicle for worship, education, and community building.

Highlighting the transformative potential of storytelling, "Principles and Technique in Religious Dramatics" remains a significant historical text for those interested in the evolution of religious education and the role of the arts in 20th-century ministry.
