| Summary: | The possibilities of a narratological theology of John are discussed in this paper. Some of the hermeneutical presuppositions which constitute such an approach are analysed. The narrative mode cannot be separated from its theological claims, since such a narrative does not merely mediate revelation, but 'is' revelation as such. The locus of revelation in a gospel narrative is taken as lying in the written narration of the gospel text with its own narrated world, and not in the deeds, content, dogmas, encounters which as possible referents of the narration lie outside the narrative. Narratological theology is a mode of self-involvement. The reader/theologian becomes committed to the text world and meaning-giving symbolic world which the Johannine text reveals. |
