A pioneering work that answers the question: What do we do when we tell a story? Using examples from the Bible and popular literature, Robert Funk examines the structure of stories to uncover the underlying grammar of the narrative. With extensive diagrams and comprehensive glossaries, this is an essential tool for anyone interested in reading and using biblical narrative.
