About this listen

Many of us have been taught to read Scripture as a collection of information that needs to be categorized, systematized, and analyzed verse by verse, concept by concept. But the Bible isn't a jigsaw puzzle, and it wasn't written in just Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. It was also written in the language of story. And as with every good story, we get to meet colorful characters, unravel mysteries, and see the world from a different point of view. It all makes more sense when understood from the perspective of storytelling.

In The God of Story, Daniel Schwabauer explores the narrative principles of theme, context, characterization, voice, and plot as a lens for understanding the cosmic story arc of God's relationship to humanity. By including creative retellings of biblical stories, he demonstrates how to engage Scripture with imagination.

For a fresh approach to reading the Bible and discovering how its stories connect to your own, start by learning to see God as the master storyteller.

The stories written down in Scripture are enveloped in beautiful literary forms, paradoxical profundity and multifaceted detail. All throughout them God has given us keys to understand them and enjoy them for all that they are. This book explores some of these keys and helps the reader to embark on a lifelong adventure to discover many more keys for themselves. God is writing HIStory, and He is inviting us to interact with a living Book, to recover the plot and experience the Abundant Life in Him that Jesus promised.
