In our next session we'll begin looking at how we can best interpret various genres in the Bible. We'll start by examining OT narratives and the NT gospels. For this session you will need to have read:
- KBH, ch. 9, pg. 323-336
- KBH, ch. 10 pg. 399-410
Here are some questions to consider while doing your reading:
- What percentage of the OT is in narrative form (325)?
- What are some of the different types of narratives we find in the OT (326-336)?
- What are some of the principles of interpreting heroic narratives or prophet stories (333)?
- What are some of the different ways of understanding the genre of 'gospel' (399-401)?
- What do the authors mean by saying that the gospels should be read both 'horizontally and vertically' (403-405)?
- What are some of the key theological issues in the gospels that we need to be aware of (407-410)?
