Biblical Tales: An Evening with Martin Shaw
Step into the mystery and wonder of sacred story with Dr. Martin Shaw, renowned mythologist, storyteller, and spiritual teacher. In this intimate evening titled Biblical Tales, Shaw brings his signature style of mythic storytelling and poetic reflection to the great narratives of Scripture—not as dry artifacts, but as living, breathing encounters.
Through deep listening and imaginative retelling, Shaw invites us to hear biblical stories not as moral fables or tidy doctrines, but as wild, soul-shaping dramas pulsing with mystery, tension, and beauty. Drawing on his background in mythology, Christian mysticism, and oral tradition, he helps us recover the Bible’s power to speak to the heart, provoke the imagination, and open space for transformation.
This is a night for the curious, the weary, the faithful, and the wondering.
The evening will include:
- – Live storytelling and mythic interpretation of biblical narratives
- – Reflections on how Scripture functions as a sacred mythology
- – An invitation to reimagine the role of story in spiritual life
- – Audience conversation and Q&A
Nov 1st – Time TBD | Location – Shelby County Arts Council
