| Summary: | Characterisation theory has provided insights into narratological studies of bibliocal characters. One notable exception, however, is the central character of the Bible: God. This article explores the unique difficulties of theocentric characterisation, using the Book of Revelation as an example. It suggests an approach of indirect characterisation which emphasises relationships within the story world and beyond. Interdividuality takes seriously the interrelatedness of all creation to the Creator. The hearer/readers are drawn into the surreal world of Revelation and invited to identify their relationship with the One who sits on the throne. |
