Narrative criticism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Narrative criticism is a relatively recent approach in literary interpretation. As a technical term, it is particularly used in biblical exegesis. Based on the recognition that many biblical texts are stories, including the four canonical gospels and major parts of the Hebrew Bible, narrative criticism uses models and questions derived from modern literary theory to interpret them. Using the insights of literary theory and criticism since New Criticism in particular, it is focused on the text and its world, and eschews external historical reference points.
