As we study the Bible, we see that the authors used a variety of literary styles to communicate to people in a way they would understand. In fact, there are 9 major literary styles found in the Bible, including Law, Narrative, Poetry, Wisdom, Prophecy, Gospels, Parables, Letters, and Apocalyptic. Commonly used in their culture, the original hearers would’ve been familiar with these styles and would’ve known how to read each appropriately for their intended purpose. But what about us today?
Let's take a look one by one at the different literary styles–this episode focusing on how to study the Narrative in the Bible.
Join the Chara Project team as they provide an intro to Narrative stories, explain the purpose of Narrative, and how to get the most out of it as you read the Bible. If you’ve ever wondered how to study the narrative stories in the Bible, this episode is for you!
This podcast is also released as a video podcast on YouTube here.
