Biblical narratives, however, are intended to do far more than teach us history. They are intended to change how we think and how we live. In The Making of a Disciple, Watson and Culy use insights from narrative criticism to show that the message of the Gospel of John is communicated not only through the teachings and deeds of Jesus, but also through the actions of the other main characters and the consequences of their actions. As readers observe characters interacting with Jesus, they are implicitly encouraged to either emulate or avoid their behavior. Coupled with the teachings and acts of Jesus, these characters serve as potent tools in the Gospel of John to showcase what it looks like not only to become a disciple of Jesus but also to grow to maturity and experience the fullness of joy that Jesus offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdward W.
