The biblical writers knew how to tell stories - stories that are effective literarily and rhetorically and are deeply important theologically. As preachers we might forget the power of these stories because we know them so well - and have since Sunday School - but for some in the pew these biblical stories are unfamiliar.

The preacher's challenge is to hear these texts anew and retell the story with fresh insight and energy. Close reading of the biblical texts - paying attention to the details, fleshing the story out - opens up new doors for the preacher.
Join David Lose and Mary Hinkle Shore for a conversation on Telling the Story, and hear sermons from those preachers as well as Andrew Root and Carol Miles.
