"Bibliolog" is an approach that allows readers to experience and relate to the Bible in a way that brings the stories to life. Geared towards groups, congregations, or school classes, this book focuses on biblical stories and interprets the Hebrew Bible, including biblical characters, and answers questions raised by the original text. Invented by North-American Jewish scholar, Peter Pitzele, this approach has its roots in the Jewish tradition of Midrash. It is fascinating how quickly people, whether they have been socialized by the church or not, can be moved by biblical texts when they experience the stories' relevance. "Bibliolog" has quickly spread across German-speaking regions and is now practiced in many different countries. The growing popularity with this approach has led to the decision to offer this concise presentation to an English-speaking audience: Pohl-Patalong focuses on the basic form of "Bibliolog," which can be performed in a short period of time with groups of any size.
