Narrative Criticism

Narrative Criticism is a text-centered method of literary and biblical interpretation that examines a work’s narrative features—such as plot, character, point of view, setting, and implied author and reader—to understand how the story as a unified whole generates meaning for its audience while largely bracketing historical and source-critical questions.
