Walter Brueggemann, The Bible Makes Sense:

1. Walter Brueggemann describes the primal narrative of the Bible as “that most simple, elemental, and non-negotiable story line which lies at the heart of biblical faith.”  What, according to Brueggemann, is the primal narrative of the Old Testament?  In what four texts can this primal narrative be found?  What event is described in these texts?  What are the four parts of this credo of faith, according to Brueggemann?

2. What is the primal narrative – what some scholars call the kerygma – of the New Testament?  In what three texts can this primal narrative be found?  What event is described in these texts?  What are the seven parts of the kerygma, according to Brueggemann?
