Stories bind us to one another and to the world God loves. Drawing upon techniques employed by novelists, storytellers, and narrative preachers, this course will immerse students in the creative writing process for sermon development and delivery. Particular attention will be paid to narrative preaching styles and the oral/aural dimensions of powerful storytelling. This course will operate like a writing or sermon development workshop, wherein students will read one another’s original work and offer constructive and critical feedback.
