The Sara Narrative?

This is my very first blog. When I was trying to come up with a title I automatically asked myself what I’m all about these days. Clearly the majority of my thoughts are consumed by my studies… more specifically the Old Testament… even more specifically Old Testament narrative (I could keep getting more and more specific but you would all just get bored). Scholars tend to label the stories of various characters within Old Testament narrative in the most simple way… “the Gideon narrative”, “the Abimelech narrative”, “the Samson narrative”(Clearly I’ve been spending my time in the book of Judges). It’s their story. I’ve been learning that these narratives describe so much more than a series of events or actions of the character. They describe the priorities and motivation of the character. They describe the spiritual life of the character. They describe the heart of the character. So, here it is… The Sara Narrative.
