The world is increasingly driven by narratives, not only as entertainment, but as tools for communication and manipulation in marketing, politics, journalism, and cultural activism. By studying the universal language of Story, you’ll not only prepare yourself to engage the culture in many different contexts (novels, graphic arts, sermons, streaming videos, podcasts, vlogs, etc.), you’ll learn to recognize and integrate the meaning of Scripture’s “hidden treasures” in ways you haven’t imagined.

Jesus was the greatest storyteller who ever lived. At MNU, you’re invited to follow Him into the adventure of telling stories that impact the world.

The program combines a strong emphasis in British, American, and world literary traditions with the application of biblical semiotics (the study of meaning) to nurture skill at writing, creativity, and the ability to recognize “the signs of the times.”
