Book Synopsis Biblical Storytelling Design by : Jim Roche
Download or read book Biblical Storytelling Design written by Jim Roche and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-09 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The apostle Paul directed Timothy to teach faithful men who would follow his model of teaching others also (2 Tim 2:2). To ask a new believer to tell his or her unbelieving network of friends about Jesus takes boldness, confidence, and—critically—a teaching program that is simple and easily reproducible. This book teaches how to craft and model telling biblical stories in the believer’s own words and style that can be easily repeated by following spiritual generations. But crafting effective stories to reproduce takes wisdom. Biblical Storytelling Design identifies seven negative influences that can either weaken or even terminate the storytelling process of spiritual reproduction. But these influences can be counteracted by applying storytelling strategies when crafting stories. This book teaches not only what to do but why it works through understanding insights from educational psychology, sociology, and anthropology that are illustrated in Scripture itself.

Download or read book God as Storyteller written by John A Beck and published by Chalice Press. This book was released on 2008-06-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is filled with carefully told stories that are designed to reach from their pages into our lives. They reach out to entertain us. They cause us to laugh or make us cry. But most importantly, the stories in the Bible shape our thinking and our faith. This book honors the role of God as storyteller and explores how God's inspired authors carefully select and present an event so as to instill it with meaning. In order to deepen our appreciation of the storyteller's craft, this book surveys the traditional categories of narrative criticism to see how the design of scene, plot, characterization, narration, time, and wordplay shape the story we read. But the reader will also find a considerable portion of this book devoted to a new form of narrative analysis-narrative geography. Since the stories of the Bible are filled not only with people but also with place, we note how the storyteller may strategically use, reuse, and nuance geography as part of the storytelling process. As we come to a fuller appreciation of how the events of the Bible become its stories, we will have set the stage for a discussion of the reader's craft, seeking meaning in such stories. In the end, the reader will be rewarded with a new and exciting way of reading God's stories that appreciates not only their composition but also their meaning.
Book Synopsis Storytelling in Christian Art from Giotto to Donatello by : Jules Lubbock
Download or read book Storytelling in Christian Art from Giotto to Donatello written by Jules Lubbock and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recounting the biblical stories through visual images was the most prestigious form of commission for a Renaissance artist. In this book, Jules Lubbock examines some of the most famous of these pictorial narratives by artists of the caliber of Giovanni Pisano, Duccio, Giotto, Ghiberti, Brunelleschi, Donatello and Masaccio. He explains how these artists portrayed the major biblical events, such as: the Sacrifice of Isaac, the Annunciation, the Feast of Herod and the Trial and Passion of Jesus, so as to be easily recognizable and, at the same time, to capture our attention and imagination for long enough to enable us to search for deeper meanings. He provides evidence showing that the Church favoured the production of images that lent themselves to being read and interpreted in this way, and he describes the works themselves to demonstrate how the pleasurable activity of deciphering these meanings can work in practice. This book is richly illustrated, and many of its photographs have been specially taken to show how the paintings and relief sculptures appear in the settings, for which they were originally designed. Seen from these viewpoints, they become more readily intelligible. Likewise, the starting point and the originality of Lubbock's interpretations lies in his accepting that these works of art were primarily designed to help people to reflect upon the ethical and religious significance of the biblical stories. The early Renaissance artists developed their highly innovative techniques to further these objectives, not as ends in themselves. Thus, the book aims to appeal to students, scholars and the general public, who are interested in Renaissance art and to those with a religious interest in biblical imagery.
Book Synopsis Ninety Biblical Story Lessons for Adults by : Jim Roche
Download or read book Ninety Biblical Story Lessons for Adults written by Jim Roche and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-03-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How would new, untrained Christians kindly and humbly introduce God to their non-Christian friends? What if neither the Christian nor the non-Christian could learn from printed materials such as pamphlets, books, or the Bible itself? What if the new Christian was usually alone and untrained in a community hostile to Christian beliefs? How could these new Christians continue the process of reproducing spiritual generations without first being fully taught themselves? The strategy offered here is to tell biblical stories that can be easily retold. Stories that revealed God’s acts and perspectives leading to questions and discussion. Stories that caused new listeners to question their own beliefs. You’re holding a collection of ninety stories designed to be retold by anyone—thirty Old Testament stories chronologically arranged from creation to the return from Israel’s exile; thirty Gospel stories from the announcement of Jesus’ birth to his ascension to heaven; and thirty stories from the New Testament from Pentecost to Jesus’ return from heaven to earth. Each lesson is built upon the principles from Roché’s first book, Biblical Storytelling Design: Understanding Why Oral Stories Work, but modeled and explained in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outreach Magazine Resource of the Year Everybody loves a good story. In an age when prepackaged gospel formulations leave people cold, well-told Bible stories can be used powerfully by God to touch people's hearts and draw them to himself. After ministry in both Western and non-Western contexts, church planter Christine Dillon has discovered that Bible storying is far more effective than most other forms of apologetics or evangelistic presentations. In fact, non-Christians actually enjoyed storying and kept coming back for more. Storying provides solid biblical foundations so listeners can understand, apply and respond to the gospel, and then go on to fruitful maturity in God's service. This book includes practical guidance on how to shape a good story, how to do evangelism through storying and how to lead Bible discussions. With particular insights for trainers and those working in crosscultural contexts, this guide provides you with concrete steps for sharing the Story that everyone needs to hear.

It includes many fascinating accounts of the responses of tribal people to the first proclamation of the gospel through storytelling.

Full of innovative and groundbreaking insights, this study is packed with ideas, explanations, and constructive suggestions stated in clear and simple language. Throughout the book there are extensive examples from the storytellers' own experiences.

Book Synopsis Sowing Stories Deep in the Soul by : Joyce Elaine Gill Johnson
Download or read book Sowing Stories Deep in the Soul written by Joyce Elaine Gill Johnson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some adolescent women struggle to maintain positive self-identity, resilience, and personalized faith development on their journey toward adulthood. It is a contemporary crisis recognized by many, including ministry leaders of faith communities. In today’s fast-paced digital culture, concerns addressing challenges facing adolescent women are evident in research literature. To strengthen their spiritual well-being, emphasis is placed on spiritual formation practices that enhance faith, hope, and personal relationships amid social, peer, and media pressures pulling them into negative, detrimental, and dysfunctional lifestyles. Empirical research reveals a need to transform negative images and self-destruction utilizing stories of holistic well-being. Sowing Stories Deep in the Soul: Biblical Storytelling with Adolescent Women highlights biblical women touched by the holistic healing ministry of Jesus with deep soul-stirring experiences of God’s compassionate love. It meets the need as a spiritual formation ministry model focused on creativity, engaging study, internalized story learning, positive life connections, and performing biblical stories by heart. These expressive aspects form the ancient oral character of Bible stories internalized and voiced in repeated performances for compelling impact and action. Included are replicable results of action research using this model with adolescent women to encourage maintaining Christ-centered lives.
