I can’t prove it, but I think that when God was deciding that heat would rise and that minor keys would sound sad, he defined some rules for Story. These are things that make a Story different from any other assemblage of words and ideas. And when he set the rules of Story, he designed them to parallel the life of his son, Jesus Christ. Now, every time I look closely at a movie I see things that reflect the One True Story.
Modern story structure identifies 12 steps. I thought it might be interesting to reflect on the Gospel through the lens of Story, starting with:
The Ordinary World
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:1
