We tend to look at the Bible as 66 different books compiled together, but what if we learned to see it as one great story—the story of God's relationship with humanity? In The God of Story, novelist and biblical scholar Dr. Daniel Schwabauer unpacks five essential elements of story—theme, context, characterization, voice, and plot—to reveal the narrative principles woven throughout Scripture. Using these elements as a lens, he traces the cosmic story arc of God's work in creation, redemption, and restoration, helping readers engage the Bible with greater imagination and recognize God as the Master Storyteller. Stories, old as time, still have the power to transform us. They whet our appetites for truth, but sometimes the deeper meaning isn't as obvious as we expect. Schwabauer shows how the Bible's stories invite us to look more closely, ask questions, and search out what God is revealing beneath the surface. In doing so, he helps us connect the individual stories of Scripture to the larger story God is telling—and ultimately to know Him more intimately. Resources mentioned on the show: The God of Story
