2018 Workshop Talk | 59:05 | All Grade Levels, Bible & Theology
Summary
This session will especially help secondary teachers of Bible and theology to reflect on some of the ways that attention to narrative patterns in Matthew’s Gospel can shed light on Matthew’s theological engagement with the Old Testament. The session will also help teachers of literature and of rhetoric to think afresh about how concepts of plot, narrative, and rhetorical techniques can be illustrated in the Bible.
