Review: Popular writer and teacher Jeannine Brown shows how a narrative approach illuminates each of the Gospels, helping readers see the overarching stories. This book offers a corrective to tendencies to read the Gospels piecemeal, one story at a time. It is filled with numerous examples and visual aids that show how narrative criticism brings the text to life, making it an ideal supplementary textbook for courses on the Gospels. Readers will gain hands-on tools and perspectives to interpret the Gospels as whole stories. ContentsPart 1: Introduction1. The Turn to Gospels as Stories: Narrative Criticism in Gospel StudiesPart 2: Plot and Plotting2. The Selection, Sequence, and Shape of the Story3. Narrative Plotting in the Gospel of LukePart 3: Character and Characterization4. The People in the Story5. Matthew's Characterization of the DisciplesPart 4: Intertextuality6.
