SERIES: The Metanarrative of Scripture
Scot Keen
Why are narratives, or stories, important? As humans, we make sense of our lives by way of story. The way we think about the world- our worldview grid- is based on the overarching stories of our culture. Things like values and morals come from our worldview.
When we are sharing God’s word cross-culturally, we need to remember we are speaking into cultures that are familiar with narratives. Give someone a proposition and they will find it hard to memorize. Give them a story, and they will have it forever.
