Telling Your Story
We teach Old Testament at Biola University, a Christian liberal arts school in southern California. We designed this exercise to fit the theologically conservative context of our school, but those in different contexts could adapt this exercise for their purposes. We find that our students often have a hard time understanding the difference between history (what happened) and historiography (a narration of what happened). A failure to notice this…
Erin Villareal. Jealousy in Context

The hist…

He also says that his social position as a foreigner has influenced how he has read the OT (pp. 2–3), though it would have been i…
