By fostering a greater sensitivity to the literary dimensions of the text, narrative analysis can yield fruitful insights for contemporary reflection on Old Testament theology.

The relationship between narratology and historical methods should be explored as part of a multi-faceted appreciation of communicative strategies in Old Testament texts. |
