A Sample Biblical Narrative: The Story of Ruth
We begin sampling a biblical narrative by reading the Book of Ruth. I have chosen it because it is short (just four chapters), it is about migrant women (and therefore very timely), and it is just the kind of story that can raise a lot of discussions (this will become obvious as we proceed). The article is divided into three parts. The first part presents a brief outline of the Book of Ruth. The second part explains some customs and ideas found in the story that may appear strange to the reader. The third part offers some tips for reading the narrative.

Sample Discourse: Paul's Letter to Philemon
A sample biblical discourse is presented here for study, Paul's Letter to Philemon. Among the letters of St. Paul, there is one that is short, very personal and one that lends itself quite well as an illustration for our discussions on biblical discourse. I refer to the Letter to Philemon, a document that dates back to the latter years of Paul's missionary sorties around the Mediterranean.

The article is part two of our section in Sampling the Gospel of Mark. This one is a reading guide to Mark 2:1 - 3:6, a section that deals with Jesus' controversies with the leaders of this time.
