A modern reader studying biblical narratives encounters various
literary approaches and ways of understanding interpretive
concepts. Hence an attempt to put forward a comprehensive
hermeneutical model of reading biblical narratives. Such a model
should aim at a synthesis of various approaches, and show how they
are interrelated. The book proposes a hermeneutical theory which
uses modern approaches to literary texts for the exegesis of
biblical narratives. The book discusses three spheres of the
reader's knowledge about reality: immanent, narrative, and
transcendental. The move from immanent to transcendental knowledge
through the mediation of narrative knowledge results from the
mediatory role played by the biblical text, which refers the reader
to a transcendent reality. This theory is then applied to the
exegesis of Genesis 21:1-21, and involves the evaluation of the New
Criticism, rhetorical criticism, structuralism and narrative
analysis, reader-response criticism, the historical-critical
method, as well as deconstruction. In order to satisfy the
postulate of pluralism in interpretation, the hermeneutical theory
draws upon a variety of ancient and modern sources such as
Aristotle, T. S. Eliot, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Paul Ricoeur.
