520 |a This essay argues that Luther's commentary treats Genesis with surprising narratological sophistication, suggesting a new avenue for research on the relationship between Protestant biblical commentary and the history of literary narrative. Trying at once to establish an intra-textual basis for preaching and church tradition and to preserve the special sanctity of a direct encounter with the salvific word, Luther reads the human ministers of Genesis-both characters within the story and Moses, who tells it-as narrators, who shape the text for particular audiences and occasions. The essay thus calls into question a commonplace description of Luther's biblical hermeneutics as focusing on the "plain, literal sense," showing how Luther in fact renders the text substantially more mediated and sophisticated than it had previously been. Moreover, Luther's exegesis contains a remarkable, nuanced conception of the Bible's narration, which includes "novelistic" effects like free indirect style.
