Hopefully this discussion continues. My reply to the post is down in the comments (#3). It's really hard to get into the mind of how Israel and, by extension, the early church read her Bible when we focus first on what (we think) they read. Narrative theology and "criticism" attempts to get at the how question first and then apply it to the what question. Biblical authors were not primitive cavemen; they were artists. A narrative approach to Bible reading recognizes the incredible nuances behind and within the text; things we often miss. More to come, I hope.
“Narratology”, “narratological”
