More Details
Everybody loves a good story. From the storybooks of our childhood to the latest blockbuster movie, a good story has the ability to create drama with words, capturing our attention and imagination. Bible stories too can be told with great power and effect, whether to children, a congregation, or to theological faculty. This effect of Bible stories, however, goes beyond mere entertainment. Christians ought to see the Bible’s stories as “vehicles of truth about God and ourselves.” It is no wonder, then, that the Bible writers use narratives or stories.
