Glossary Definition of word.
biblical narrative A biblical narrative is both a type of narrative and a reference to certain passages or books of the Bible. Biblical narratives are historical narratives with more emphasis on information, not entertaining drama. The first seventeen books of the Old Testament (i.e., Genesis to Esther) are basically narratives. The poetic and prophetic books are occasionally interlaced into these seventeen books (e.g., the statutes in Exodus). Narratives are also interlaced into the poetic books and the prophets (e.g., Jer. 39:1-18). Job is considered a poetic books, but is also a narrative. Likewise, Daniel and Jonah are considered prophetic books, but are also narratives. The first five books of the New Testament (i.e., the gospels and Acts) are classified as narratives; although, the events in the gospels are not always presented in chronological order. |
