Seven stories we keep telling

By Tony Watkins31 July 201516 January 2019 Categories: Bible, Film Tags: Bible, Biblical Metanarrative, Brokenness, Christopher Booker, Creation, Decreation, Film, Freedom, Literature, Mike Cosper, narrative, Stories, themes

Over the course of around twenty years of analysing films, books and other media, I have often been struck at the ways in which storytellers keep telling the same kinds of tales over and over again. That’s not to say that the narratives they construct are inevitably wearied or hackneyed; far from it. There is extraordinary diversity in the way that the themes have been explored. Yet, it remains the case that, under the surface, most if not all stories are versions of a limited number of key themes.
