Via Sojourners:
Teaching scripture as a story allows God's story to become a guiding light for the learner. Resources for faith are provided that can support a person's character development. Images are presented that can nurture a construction of Christian identity that is faithful to the church.... Hearers become inspired and encouraged to identify their story with the scripture. Readers are equipped to relate and broaden their personal experiences in light of their social existence. Learners are empowered to judge and redefine what is meaningful in their lives.
—Joseph V. Crockett
This was of particular interest to me because I'm preaching on how we read and understand scripture this Sunday. I'll plan to preach from the lectionary text of 2 Timothy 2:8-15.
