Session 2: How to Read Biblical Narrative

Narrative makes up about 43% of the Bible, making it the most prominent literary genre in Scripture. These events are not just historical accounts; they reveal God’s character, His purposes, and His unfolding plan for the world.

In this session, you'll dive into the key elements of biblical storytelling through four lessons: Plot, Characters, Setting, and Design Patterns. Understanding how these elements work together helps us read biblical narratives with greater clarity and insight. As you engage with these lessons, you’ll begin to see how each story contributes to the grand, unified story of God and His people—and how you are invited into that story as well.
