Getting the most out of biblical narrative The subject of every story: universal human experience Setting in Bible stories: seeing the particulars Characterization in Bible stories (part 1): how writers do it Characterization in Bible stories (part 2): what readers need to do Plot structure and unity: the beginning, middle, and ending of each story Plot devices: how storytellers tell their story with beauty and skill Hero stories: a neglected but fruitful literary device From story to meaning: how to find significance in a narrative text.
How Bible Stories Work is the first of a six-volume series titled Reading the Bible as Literature, all of which are written by Leland Ryken. An expert at exploring the intersection of Bible and literature, he shows pastors and students and teachers of the Bible how to appreciate the artistic beauty of biblical narrative and how to interpret it correctly. Dr. Ryken goes one step further than merely explaining the genre of story ; he includes exercises to help students master this literary treasure. -- Back book flap Link to source of summary
