    This approach is so much different than than the narrative approach I looked into! I'm suprised to see that a primary criticism for the social-scientific method is that it is too subjective. It seems to have elements that are so measurable with cultural and historical study that it would tend to be less subjective.

    This Biblical approach was new to me before I came to Iliff and I have so appreciated working with this lens. Although it relates to feminine considerations, reading again about the goals of this approach make me think of how it relates to the movement to make ourselves aware of white privilege and the related domination and exploitation of white privilege.

    Narrative Criticism is a modern critical approach to Biblical reading. It treats the text as a whole, rather than in parts such as is common in the more historical critical approaches of the 18th century and beyond. European and American literary scholars began to work seriously with this approach in the 1960's and 70's…and it found its way into Biblical criticism through the work of Alter and others in the 1980's.
    Narrative Criticism considers the effects of a literary work that tells a story. It focuses on the narrative itself, including such elements of the story as: events, characters, setting, plot (the interaction of the characters), implied author and implied reader. An important distinction here is that the elements of the story are the "what" of a narrative; this is in contrast to the "how" of a narrative or how the story is told. In other words, narrative criticism focuses on the story itself and not on the rhetorical elements. It is a method of reading the text that wonders about the details or elements of the text; such as wondering what order the characters and events appear what information they give to the reader, and so on. Narrative critical readings attend to the "being" of a story…its presence and transformative power. This quality transcends and reading that would confine it to a historical place in time.

    Scholars who exemplify this approach: Robert Alter, Mark Allan Powell, Elizabeth Struthers Malbon

Biblical criticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 4 views

  • Narrative criticism is one of a number of modern forms of criticism based in contemporary literary theory and practice - in this case, from narratology. In common with other literary approaches (and in contrast to historical forms of criticism), narrative criticism treats the text as a unit, and focusses on narrative structure and composition, plot development, themes and motifs, characters and characterisation.[14] Narrative criticism is a complex field, but some central concerns include the reliability of the narrator, the question of authorial intent (expressed in terms of the context in which the text was written and its presumed intended audience), and the implications of multiple interpretation (meaning an awareness that a narrative is capable of more than one i
