Narratology, Hermeneutics, and Midrash

The contributions compiled in this volume comprise studies of Jewish texts – biblical, rabbinic, medieval, and modern –, as well as of patristic and medieval Christian texts, and in one case, a passage of the Muslim text par excellence, the Quran. The authors, scholars in the fields of Jewish Studies, Catholic and Protestant Theology, Islamic Studies, German philology etc., invited to reflect on texts of their respective disciplines in context-sensitive interpretations, taking into account the link connecting Midrash, hermeneutics, and narrative, provide illuminating narratological and/or hermeneutical insights into the texts in question. This interdisciplinary dialogue proves to be rich and full of potential for further research.
