Overview
Invites us to imagine what the ābackstoryā of our favorite scriptures might have been.
How do the scriptures speak to us today? Where do our stories mirror biblical stories? Herbert OāDriscoll, beloved Anglican preacher, storyteller, author, and hymn writer, invites us to imagine what the āback storyā of our favorite scriptures might have been. By doing Christian midrashātelling the stories within the StoryāDr. OāDriscoll has filled in the gaps by creating new homilies and parables based on the text.
Some are narratives, such as Jesus wondering about his cousin John as a twentysomething activist, and Maryās thoughts as she knelt at the foot of the cross. Others ask you to imagine a bundle of letters from early Christians that āmight have been written if we could only find them,ā like Philemonās response to Paulās request on behalf of a runaway slave, or a letter from a student-aged Judas Iscariot written to his parents expressing his excitement about a rabbi whose teaching he finds fascinating. Each of the twenty-eight short chapters offers a glimpse of the thoughts and emotions of individuals found in the Christian Testament, bringing alive the sights, sounds, and smells of the Holy Land.
