What Is Narrative Criticism? - Paperback
About this item
by Mark Allan Powell (Author)
The first nontechnical description of the principles and procedures of narrative criticism. Written for students' and pastors' use in their own exegesis.
With great clarity Powell outlines the principles and procedures that narrative critics follow in exegesis of gospel texts and explains concepts such as "point of view," "narration," "irony," and "symbolism." Chapters are devoted to each of the three principal elements of narrative: events, characters, and settings; and case studies are provided to illustrate how the method is applied in each instance. The book concludes with an honest appraisal of the contribution that narrative criticism makes, a consideration of objections that have been raised against the use of this method, and a discussion of the hermeneutical implications this method raises for the church.
