Description
Summary:If we accept the division of narrative critics into those who explain what texts mean and those who focus on how texts mean, we should agree that Françoise Mirguet firmly belongs to the latter group. From the very outset, she emphasizes that her intention is not to draw another portrait of God playing its part on the narrative stage of the Pentateuch, but rather to explain the diverse modes of narrative communication which constitute the divine persona. To distance herself from the semantic type of narrative theory, which some narratologists consider to be its inferior branch, Mirguet even avoids using the term God and, instead, either refers to God by one of the divine proper names, or simply calls God the divine character.
