Below are links to some excellent examples for public speaking students to model their final assignment after. Note the differences in Sarris's and Camillera's style in telling the same story. Both are telling the stories directly from scripture, but Camillera embellishes or uses more modern words at times. John Walsh simply retells the Bible story in his own words.
John Walsh - The Call of Abraham
George W. Sarris (videos at Engage the Culture)
Elijah and the prophets of Baal
Abraham and Isaac (story begins at 1:42)
The Backyard Bard - Simon Camillera (Elijah and the prophets of Baal)
