Tannehill's article “The Disciples in Mark: The Function of a Narrative Role,” Journal of Religion 57(1977): 386–405, contains an abundance of good narrative theory that can be applied to biblical stories in general. Of a similar nature is Amos N. Wilder's essay “Story and StoryWorld,” Interpretation 37(l983): 35364, which provides a brief overview of some of the leading “rituals of storytelling.” Jacob Licht, Storytelling ..." |
 | | Christian Guides to the Classics A Christian Guide to the Classics by Leland Ryken 112 Pages, Published 2015 by Crossway ISBN-13: 978-1-4335-4706-5, ISBN: 1-4335-4706-6 "When we read a Christian classic, we experience something similar. A second way in which the Bible serves as a model stems from its literary nature. The Bible gives us a definition of a Christian classic.

But the Bible is predominantly literary. It overwhelmingly p ..." |

In that capacity, he has read all of the material (known to scholars as “the critical apparatus”) that appears in these Bibles. Additionally, starting in 1993, Packer served as an editor ..." |

Before we explore that, it is useful to make a distinction between “inclusively Christian” ideas and “ exclusively Christian” ideas.

Talkative is a comic type and a satiric portrait (satire as the ridicule of folly). He is a social pest whom we all know—the nonstop talker who mainly impresses himself but not others. Bunyan multiplies the humor by making Talkative the son of Say-well and someone who lives on Prating Row (equivalent of “Chattering Street”). Bunyan's originality consists of putting this ..." |

Shakespeare's Hamlet by Leland Ryken 96 Pages, Published 2014 by Crossway ISBN-13: 978-1-4335-4125-4, ISBN: 1-4335-4125-4 "Three interrelated topics merge in discussions ofHamlet: (1) the nature ofHamlet's problem or mission, (2) the na- ture of Hamlet's character and personality, and (3) the nature ofHamlet's delay. In this context, delay should be construed neutrally as meaning that Hamlet does not immediately take action against Claudius; delay need not mean procrastination. One theory can be summarized as “the two Hamlets theory.” This means that t ..." |
