Steve Scott #Scripture `The Life of Signs: John’s Gospel as a Resource for the Mission of Cultural Engagement’
Incidentally if you go to the `life of signs’ drop down menu in this `crying for a vision’ web page you will find MANY MORE resources I listed in relation to THAT seminar.
OK….so what did we talk about in THIS session ??
STORYTELLING
As for `frame story’…..`global’ story structures…and structures like kishotenketsu
Here are some links
and
Biblical stories and texts as rhetorical events. Gospel stories were recited to an audience. Letters were dictated and then read out to groups/congregations. Does `hearing’ a text as it was (probably) first heard deepen our understanding of the meaning of the text?

Gospel Storyteller and audience shared the same cultural and historical heritage. The storyteller drew upon that knowledge in shaping the story, adding allusions and echoes to shared traditions, images and spiritual/cultural heritage. Please check out this book.
`Echoes of Scripture in the Gospels’ by Richard B Hays (Baylor University Press; Reprint edition (May 15, 2017)
According to some Scholars the storytellers also shaped their stories using the dramatic and rhetorical conventions of the surrounding Greco Roman culture. This book is a good resource.
`Dialogue and Drama: Elements of Greek Tragedy in the Fourth Gospel’ by Jo-Ann A. Brant (Publisher : Baker Academic (July 1, 2004)
What about the Bible as read and interpreted in the life and history of the church?? Can we learn anything from that ?
`Reception Theory and Biblical Hermeneutics’ by David Paul Parris (Princeton Theological Monograph Series Book 107)
(Pickwick Publications (January 1, 2009)
