Customer Reviews

Storyfest.com folks recommend this book.

I learned of Amos Niven Wilder in a discussion of this book, first published by Harper and Row as "The Language of the Gospel: Early Christian Rhetoric" from Bob and Kelly Wilhelm who operate Storyfest.

Story and storytelling remain essential to humanity's collective spiritual progress. Go quickly and tell.
