Narrative Apologetics
As our culture increasingly embraces radical individualism, logic and reason hold diminishing power to persuade. Fortunately, the scriptures teach other methods for effectively reaching the lost. In this discussion, Daniel Schwabauer explores how narrative principles convey truth in subtle and enduring ways. Beginning with a review of the reason Jesus spoke in parables, we’ll unpack the simple but unexpected methods biblical writers use to impact their audiences. Along the way, we might even discover things hidden in plain sight.
