'There is no single chronological order in human experience. Different people learn of events in different order, and this order may affect the significance of events for them.' (p10)

'Furthermore, control of time is an important interpretative technique in narrative. Narrators have frequently found it useful to guide readers by allowing them to anticipate certain events in advance and by encouraging them to reflect on them afterwards, thereby making possible a richer experience of these events than a strictly chronological account would provide.' (p10)

'Narrative is always selective, based on some interpretation of what is important. A completely objective chronology would not only be bound to clock time but would also have to devote equal attention to each minute of the day, which no narrator does. Nor would we listen long to such an account.' (p11)

'The narrative world which the reader must comprehend in order to appreciate the literary work does not begin with 'the days of King Herod' but stretches back at least to God's promises to Abraham.' (p18)
