Next year I am teaching Biblical Narrative again, so I thought this time I’d collect my podcasts about how biblical narrative works, so that I can offer them to the students as a simple way in to the topic. Here’s the list so far.
Do tell me what’s missing! That way I have till February to fill the gaps :)
The big picture: what are biblical narratives like and how do they work
What is a narrative “about”
Bible stories are realistic
Biblical narrative is terse
Biblical narratives preach rather than inform
Humour in Bible stories
- Humour in the Bible: Part 1: Introducing Saul
- Humour in the Bible: Part 2: Still Introducing Saul
- Sexual humour in Esther
- Jonah: Thoroughly fishy!
