,
h
ow to effectively interpret and understand the Old Testament. The various styles of approaching the almost forgotten books in this section of the word.
This b
rings relevance and comprehension for the modern times of our day.
These v
arious forms of styles
we have studied in the previous lessons
, s
hows how very much
is
needed to effectively understand the words context.Using certain narrative tools as
mentioned before and will be
further illustrated.
This will aide in
the breakdown and understanding of the Scriptures
, for those who will and are teaching Yahweh's word
.The plot: As the movement of the story has a beginning, midpoint and endpoint of the subject or story at hand. T

1 Kings 17:24
And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth.
In this twenty-fourth verse, t
he widow perceives that every word Elijah proclaimed in the name of Adonai came to pass.
Her viewpoint in light of the many events, poverty, drought, abandonment and despair. Was all summed up in her perspective. The miracles of Yahweh's provision and promises are true

Characterization: When looking in the scriptures and the description of people. It is important to look at 4 aspects
:
their actions and interactions
the character's speeches
the speeches of other characters about specific characters
the narrator's specific comments about the character
Of w
hich
these
can be either static or dynamic
.
1 Samuel 9:2
And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.The description of Saul in this passage paints the picture of a tall handsome man. This method of studying characterization is called static
, shows the s
ame actions of the character.
A
nother method with a character in various situations which is called dynamic. For example Samson
is
very dynamic
, a
s a character in the word.
His life was full of ups and downs variations and changes. Using the characterization method to study.
One must be careful not to focus on the character entirely.
We have to keep
reminding oneself that the sum of the study brings you back to Yahweh.
To see Yahweh through the actions, subject and plot of the narrative is to make sure the reader doesn't miss
the point. What is Yahweh saying to you through the characters and events in the passages
