A few months back I got a group together to read through a script I created of the Gospel of Luke. The script uses the NET translation so others can copy it as long as it is not done for profit. The beginning of each chapter has characters listed in script order. The end of the script includes a full list of characters and a few maps to show all the locations in Luke.

Back in March, twenty-five people crammed into my apartment to read this script. People still comment about that night. Aside from the main characters such as Jesus and the Narrators, each reader got assigned several characters. Some characters read as a group. The script designates this with a bold font.

I would appreciate any comments or suggestions, particularly from those who attempt their own Bible reading night. It would help me as I venture into making scripts for other books.

In the late 80s and early 90s Zondervan produced the Dramatized Bible in the NIV translation. Printing of that Bible has ceased. Although I don’t know the reason, I speculate that it is hard to get enough copies for every member in the reading group. By using the NET translation, I hope to avoid this problem.
