The recent emphasis placed on the study of narrative has found its way into theological studies. Essentially, this volume is an exploration of narrative and of the significant fact that the Jewish and Christian communities have continued over the centuries to tell stories that they reverence as the Word of God.

William Riley studied biblical theology at the Angelicum University in Rome. He lectured in Scripture at the Master Dei Institute of Education, Dublin. He is the author of The Bible Study Group: An Owner's Manual and The Tale of Two Testaments.
