Every volume includes Bible commentary, imaginative retellings, and midrashim (excerpts from the rabbinic literature that shed light on the biblical stories). Volume Six, The Prophets I, helps the storyteller prepare texts from prophets of the eighth and seventh centuries B.C.E.: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, Amos, Micah, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah.

The stories in Daniel and Revelation are among the most vivid in the Bible, but they are also among the most misunderstood. In The Storyteller's Companion to the Bible Volume 8, commentator Rick Lowery and storytellers Michael E. Willliams and Fred A. Shaw show how the symbolism and imagery of these biblical stories offer comfort in times of distress and encouragement to hold fast in faith.

The New Interpreter’s Handbook of Preaching is a major reference tool for preaching, with articles on every facet of Christian sermon preparation and delivery. This resource is both scholarly and practical. It focuses on the most distinctive feature and greatest strength of homiletics as a discipline: It is rooted in interdisciplinary scholarship and it develops theory geared to practice. Its theory arises out of the study of both excellent preaching past and present and actual sermon preparation and composition. When theory and practice critique each other, it is possible to produce guidelines that assist greater excellence and economy in preaching the gospel. Excellence in standards is an area in which homiletics needs to grow, and this project will be both a means to encourage and develop it. A guiding question throughout will be, Will it preach? The answers will be offered in the sense that “here is something that works well,” rather than “here is something to try.” Preachers will turn to this resource with the expectation that they will find scholarly treatment of topics, brief bibliographies of relevant key books and articles, along with practical methodological suggestions for preachers to employ. The contributors are homileticians, preachers, and writers in various disciplines who are committed to the pulpit through practice.

Through his clear and compelling arguments, Dennis Smith offers essential background information about the theological purposes of the gospel of John. Throughout the stories about Jesus, he shows how John's community is guided purposefully to understand Jesus' glorious divine status, and he also helps us imagine how our own Christian communities come to belief in the resurrected Christ.

Jesus was a master storyteller, and his chosen form of story was the parable. Like rabbis of his day and since, if you asked him a question, what you were likely to get in response was a story. As a storyteller, he must have been a charismatic speaker, weaving images that gave people new insights into pressing concerns of their day. After Jesus' death, his followers preserved many of his stories and passed them down. But when they did so, they saw new meanings in them. Jesus, they felt, spoke not only to people and concerns of his own day but also to new generations and situations. The parables of Jesus were not seen as historical artifacts but as lively words of wisdom appropriate for any generation. Today we still learn from the parables of Jesus. They still speak with a freshness and power that give us new insights into pressing concerns of our own day. This volume delves into the parables of the master storyteller and learn ways in which we can retell those sto

The stories in the Acts of the Apostles have been revered throughout Chrisitan history as a resource about the origins of the church and the triumph of the faith in the face of oppoosition. The author of Acts was a skilled storyteller who used the models of popular storytelling of the day to make a compelling, inspirational account and an example for us of the power of storytelling in presenting the Christian message. From the descent of the Spirit upon the waiting disciples at Pentecost to the dramatic account of Paul's shipwreck while en route to Rome to stand trial, retellings of the biblical story are woven into commentary on the text to provide an illuminating portrait of the early church's struggle for an unfettered gospel.
