Over half of Scripture is narrative in form. Is there more to it than entertaining stories? Are we perhaps missing some of the deeper meaning? In this book Roger Senior gets to grips with the unique characteristics of biblical narrative by an examination of Luke's gospel. He uses these insights to help preachers prepare sermons in which the original narrative power and impact of the biblical text is maintained. At the end of most chapters are questions which may profitably be studied individually or in groups. Rev. Dr. Roger Senior has worked in East Asia with OMF International for almost thirty years. He has trained pastors and seminary students in expository preaching in Korea, Mongolia and Malaysia. At the Union Bible Theological College in Mongolia he taught Biblical Studies, Hermeneutics and Homiletics and also worked as college principal. He is currently on the faculty of the Malaysia Bible Seminary.
