ABSTRACT
Biblical narratives, story accounts that connect events in order of happenings, have nurtured faiths, instructed theologies and challenged imaginations for centuries. At the heart of Christianity and Judaism are artistic and poetic stories from scripture that shape our convictions and theological ideas. Valuable Christian expressions like creeds, baptism, communion, symbols, liturgies, etc., all have their basis primarily in biblical narratives. While these artistic writings come from ancient, prescientific, and alien worldviews, they continue to reach across cultural and historical distance to influence our beliefs and practices today.
