Help For Preaching Narratives
posted October 1, 1997
  1. The Art of Biblical Narrative (Basic, 1983) by Robert Alter. This classic resembles a well-crafted Time magazine article.

  4. The Modern Preacher and the Ancient Text (Eerdmans, 1988). See especially Sidney Gredanus's chapter on "Preaching Hebrew Narratives."
  5. Narrative Art in the Bible (The Almond Press, 1989) by Shimon Bar-Efrat gives a more complete list of literary techniques and devices found in Old Testament narratives.
