Our biblical narrative is full of gaps. We get descriiptions of action and some dialog, but we are often left to wonder about the thoughts and motivations of the major characters, and there are plenty of folks that we don’t hear from at all. Using ONLY your Bible and your imagination, please write a reflection that does the following…
Part 1: Find something missing in the narrative and use your imagination and creative writing skills to finish or expand on the story.
Part 2: In a concluding paragraph (or two) explain some of the choices you made in your creative writing and what your biblical imaginings add to our understanding of the text.
A Successful reflection will…
•Tell an original, compelling, and creative story with fully formed characters
•Fit within the structure of the biblical narrative and demonstrate a deep understanding of a particular story or event
•Answer or ask a question that is not addressed within the biblical text
•Contain a thoughtful and clear explanation of your own work [Part 2]
