Brueggemann, in his book The Creative Word, focuses on the Torah as he declares the following five beliefs about story.

Story is concrete
Biblical stories are about particular persons in particular times and places.

Story is open-ended in its telling
Brueggemann believes that the community of Israel was not interested in a static meaning or flat memories for Israel’s new generation. Rather, she was concerned about creating a context, evoking a perception, forming a frame of reference that went beyond and did not depend on any particular version or nuance of any particular narrative. The storyteller requires fidelity, however, by knowing the boundaries of form and plot and characters. (Walter Brueggemann, The Creative Word: Canon as a Model for Biblical Education (Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1982), 23) Brueggemann appears to be saying that the boundaries are literary and he remains unclear about the historical.
