Researches conducted on narrative as it relates to learning overwhelmingly agree on its benefit for learners. Benefits include better comprehension, retention, persuasion, meaning-making, and wisdom for navigating the world. Themes in the literature relating to narrative and epistemology include narrative theory, narrative identity, narrative construction of reality, narrative knowledge, narrative paradigm, narrative emotion, narrative imagination, narrative reasoning, and narrative interpretation of reality. However, the practice of using narrative material to teach in higher education classrooms remains limited. This study, therefore, explored how higher education academics practice using narrative materials in their classes; its value for their practice and how they evaluate that.Discoveries in the study confirmed that narrative materials help to create imaginative transformation in a classroom. It is both a way of knowing and thinking; a way to articulate some knowledge that are impossible to articulate apart from narrative. It also confirmed that employing narrative materials in a classroom communicates values rather than mere facts, thus contributing to the ethical dimension of knowledge. Narrative materials make education holistic. This, in some cases, includes spiritual formation as students grow in their knowledge, understanding, and commitment to Christ. Additionally, academics who employ narrative in their teaching discover that it helps them achieve their learning objectives more effectively and long-term. Students remember clear understanding and wisdom they gained from their teaching long after they graduate. A robust academic engagement in higher education is possible if academics invite their students into dialogue in ways that students can engage with and own their learning.
