Narrative, Mind, and Meaning: Redeveloping Literary Approaches to the New Testament with Special Attention to the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts

负责任地解释新约叙事需要借用文学理论和语言学的方法。虽然后者经历了认知科学的见解的影响下，主要的发展，新约研究仍然大多不为这些变化所动。这种停滞导致了片面的解释，对这些文本的神学意义产生了深远的影响，这些文本对许多信徒来说是形成性的。本研究的结果将为新约叙事解释提供一个更新的理论。此外，它将展示其有益的应用在卢克行为有关的主题救恩。叙述、思想和意义创造之间的联系将被描述。

Interpreting New Testament narratives responsibly requires borrowing methodology from literary theory and linguistics. While these latter have undergone major developments influenced by insights from cognitive science, New Testament studies has remained mostly unmoved by these changes. This stagnation has resulted in one-sided interpretations with far-reaching consequences for the theological meaning of these texts that are formative for many believers. The result of this project will provide an updated theory for New Testament narrative interpretation. Moreover, it will demonstrate its beneficial application in Luke-Acts concerning the theme of salvation. The connection between narrative, mind, and creation of meaning will be depicted.
