STORYKEEPERS
AUTHORS
Rev Brian
Brown
Now retired from involvement with Storykeepers, Brian Brown is a Methodist minister and
theologian in Oxford, England. A long period of working in the television industry in the
UK on childrens programming, heightened his understanding of how best to reach out to
children.
He took enormous pains to perfect his translation of the gospel stories into language
suitable for 8 year olds, whilst being faithful to the original Greek and Hebrew, yet also
taking care that the wording is unlikely to become outdated.
The rigour of his theology has been attested to by theologians of all denominations, and
their names appear in the credits after each episode.
Dr Andrew
Melrose
Andrew Melrose teaches the postgraduate course in ‘Writing for Children’ at King
Alfred’s College, Winchester, England. His input into the writing of Storykeepers has
ensured the series’ success with totally engaging stories, which hold record numbers
of children enthralled.
Andy’s ‘back stories’ underpin the parable stories, ensure these arise
naturally in the context of the episode, and allow the stories to be clearly relevant to
the modern viewer of whatever age.
