For as long as humans have been around, we have found comfort in stories. With Fr. Gray, you will discover newfound theological and spiritual meaning in the Bible’s great narratives.

In this engaging 12-lecture audio series, you will first examine the four Old Testament stories of Jonah, Ruth and Naomi, Elijah, and Jacob. Here, you will discover the richness of God’s mercy and forgiveness, His hopes for the human family, and the ways He works toward peace and reconciliation.
Additionally, you will look at Jesus as a central figure of the Gospel narratives and as a storyteller in His ministry. Last, you will consider God as a storyteller, exploring the ways you can become His partner in this theology of story.
If you love stories and want to deepen your understanding of your own Christian heritage, you will treasure the beautiful insights of this course.
