Academic paradigms have shifted There is a growing narrative moment Despite that entrenched antinarrative views continue to make alignment with the narrative camp a troubling prospect Gian Pagnucci lends support to those who desire to save the storyto use narrative ways of knowing in their teaching and research He demonstrates how narrative inquiry and analysis are valid and important parts of the English discipline too much so to be lost to academic politicking Creative and engaging Pagnuccis approach carefully blends story poem and theory By using multiple genres he adds weight to the argument that essayistic literacy is not the exclusive means by which we can disseminate knowledge In addition Pagnucci artfully combines ideas and quotes in two short Interludes collages of interpretations of narrative theory and teaching practice These add further proof to his point that narrative theory builds on a spirit of collaboration on a real need to exchange stories to make meaning Pagnucci pictures a world in which teachers and students leave their assigned roles behind Instead they become costorytellers When that happens education becomes more than meaningfulit becomes more enjoyable And thats the true beginning of living the narrative life

Reading Joshua can be frankly a jarring experience Serious troubling questions about Gods attitude toward his created peoples arise questions with noeasy answer But the book of Joshua presents itself warts and wars and all and asks readers to let it tell its story from its point of view and out of its ancient context It asks them to give it the benefit of the doubt and permit it to speak to them This commentary aims to give its voice a clear hearing to translate its ancient cultural form in such a way that it freely speaks about the life of faith today Basically the book of Joshua tells how biblical Israel navigated a major historical transition early in its national life The book shows that guiding these changes is Israels God Yahweh through his chosen servant Joshua The introductory sections to follow set the scene for entering the book of Joshua and the ancient world about which it reports Most Bible commentaries take us on a oneway trip from our world to the world of the Bible But they leave us there assuming that we can somehow make thereturn journey on our own They focus on the original meaning of the passage but dont discuss its contemporary application The information they offer is valuable but the job is only half done The NIV Application Commentary Series helps bring both halves of the interpretive task together This unique awardwinning series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into our presentday context Joshua helps readers learn how the message of Joshua can have the same powerful impact today that it did when it was first written
