The Art of Narrative Analogy

In The Art of Narrative Analogy, Seth D. Postell presents a literary method for identifying and interpreting parallel passages in the Bible.

He argues that narrative analogy—deliberately paralleling characters, events, and themes across biblical texts—offers a more exegetically responsible and theologically fruitful way to understand the Bible's unity and depth.

Drawing on examples from both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, Postell demonstrates how scriptural authors use parallels to illuminate theological truths and deepen narrative coherence.

The book also includes practical guidance for recognizing and interpreting these analogies, making it a valuable resource for students, pastors, and church leaders.
