Hi there!
I would like to give a definition of this blog. "Personae: The Untold Stories" is a series of posts (more like journal entries) giving insight into the behind-the-scenes world of characters from the Bible. So many times we read through a story and never focus on the people in the background. For example, everyone focuses on Samson, but what about Delilah. How did Delilah get to the place she was in life? What about Michal? That's right. You probably don't even recognize the name even though she was married to King David and the daughter of King Saul.
I'm majoring in communication studies at the University of North Texas. In one of my classes, we read between the lines and really try to embody and discover who a character (persona) is so we can better perform them. One day while I was reading a section of scripture, it hit me that if I learned to really discover each character in a story then I would better understand scripture in general. Instead of reading through it, I could feel it in me. I could be in the story!
This leads me to the point of this blog. I want to share my journey through scripture while discovering personae in a completely different way then I'm sure you've ever seen. I know I'm excited. So please join me.
