Description
Summary:Narrativity in the Old Testament The epistemological status of the narrative as a mode of communication in the Old Testament is the issue in this article. It is argued that the narrative was deliberately chosen as a means of communication because ontologically it is a mode of existence, interpretation and familiarization. In the article the fiction-versus-fact debate is broadly discussed. A textual approach, in which the semiotic value of the specific structuring of the narrative discourse is adequately acknowledged, is put forward.
