Of the six genres (narrative, epistle, prophetic, parable, poetry, apocalypse), which do you read most? Which do you read least? Do you have a favorite genre? If so, why do you favor it?
-
My least is the poetry sections as I struggle to understand them.
-
I read narrative the most as it is easier for me to follow as I read. I am excited to learn more about breaking down and understanding other genres to better-understand God’s word.
-
Narrative is the genre read most and favorite because I prefer a straight forward story. Apocalyptic is least because of so much symbolism.
-
Epistle most and apocalypse least
I read the new testament more than the old testament.
The letters give an example of Christian values and how to live them out. -
I think I prefer narrative, as it is probably the easiest to understand. While apocalypse is the hardest to understand. I have a reading plan that takes me through the Bible in a year, but if I need reassurance for some reason, I go to the Psalms or the gospel of John.
