Focalization in the Old Testament Narratives with Specific Examples from the Book of Ruth
Konstantin Nazarov
About This Book
Since GĂ©rard Genette first coined the term in 1972, focalization has been recognized as one ofthe key concepts in contemporary understandings of narrative. However, in the field of biblical studies, the concept has been largely overlooked. Dr. Konstantin Nazarov seeks to rectify this oversight, exploring the implications of focalization on Old Testament narratology. Utilizing the work of Wolf Schmid and Valeri Tjupa to develop his methodology â and examining the book of Ruth as a case study â Nazarov demonstrates the value of focalization in furthering the appreciation and understanding of biblical texts.This is an excellent resource for students of narratology, biblical studies scholars, or anyone seeking to better understand the narratives of Scripture.
