The Art of Narrative Analogy - Identifying and Interpreting Parallel Passages in the Bible

Sinopsis

In The Art of Narrative Analogy, Seth Postell offers a literary approach for understanding the relationship between the two Testaments, and between various biblical narratives, that is more sensitive to the verbal meaning of the Old Testament than popular typological approaches. He argues that narrative analogy--the deliberate paralleling of characters, events, and themes across biblical texts--provides a more exegetically responsible and theologically fruitful method for understanding the Bible's unity and depth. 
 
Drawing on extensive examples from the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, Postell reveals how scriptural authors employ parallels to illuminate theological truths and deepen narrative coherence. From the connections between Rahab and Lot to the analogies between Jonah and the calming of the storm in Mark's Gospel, he shows how these parallels invite readers into the Bible's grand theological narrative. Postell also integrates illustrations from modern storytelling, such as Star Wars, to demonstrate how analogy shapes meaning in both ancient and contemporary contexts. 
 
Postell offers clear criteria for identifying narrative analogies, and practical guidance for interpreting them, making this volume an indispensable resource for students, pastors, and church leaders.

In No Lasting City, Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt collects essays written over a twenty-five-year period that explore the relationship between theology, politics, and culture. Drawing on the Christian theological tradition and engaging thinkers from Augustine and Julian of Norwich to Max Weber and Michel de Certeau, Bauerschmidt sketches a picture of faithful engagement with politics and culture that has robustly Christological contours. The stories of Flannery O’Connor, the paintings of the Flemish Primitives, the curricula of medieval universities, and modern accounts of mystical experience all serve as points by which the path of God’s pilgrim city is charted, as a way both of understanding our past and present and of orienting us toward our hoped-for homeland.

Stewarding Wounded Hearts - Being Jesus to Wounded People - cover

Stewarding Wounded Hearts -...

When wounded people come to church … 
We often do one of two things, with the best of intentions: 
1.   We minimize or discount their pain. 
2.   We try to “fix” them by being the therapist. 
But both just cause more damage that we don’t know we’re causing. We want to help. We have the right heart. But we’ve made it clear we don’t understand their pain, so they keep it secret. 
What if there’s another way? 
At the end of the day, whether we are Jesus to wounded people or unintentionally cause more damage depends on how well we steward wounded hearts. 
This book shows you how. 
“I just read the first chapter and all I can say is WOW. I can see myself utilizing this information and teaching it line for line in my Wednesday night adult teaching lessons.” -- Pastor Phil Corbett, First Assembly of God, Corrigan, Texas 
“I’ve already used one of your chapters in a homily for my parish. I look forward to incorporating these things immediately into my ministry!” -- Father Jonathan Goertz, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Henrico, VA 
Because if they can’t go to the people of God when they’re hurting, where can they go?
