In Week 6 of our Hermeneutics series Lee Woodmansee begins to discuss individual genres of biblical literature. The first genre discussed is the one that is most prevalent in the Scriptures: narrative. Lee will cover four main things concerning narrative literature: 1) general characteristics of the genre, 2) a discussion of prescriptive and descriptive texts, 3) seven general guidelines or tips for reading narratives, and finally 4) an examination of Ruth where we apply our lessons learned thus far.
