This seminar presents narrative preaching and teaching as ministry tools relevant to the Asian church. Asians traditionally learn through stories, much like the Old and New Testaments' ancient audience(s).
Thus, a significant part of the Bible is narrative, which the biblical authors use in order to mediate the understanding of God and his world.(a) how to read biblical narrative; (b) learn the importance of reading a narrative in the light of its literary and socio-cultural context. Putting these learnings together, we will attempt narrative preaching (or preaching from biblical narratives) in such a way as to make our teaching and preaching more effective to our Asian target audience.
