The book shows how the narrator of Luke-Acts assigned Peter to interpret these events. By identifying him as one of the eyewitnesses cited in the Gospel preface, the author shows how, by divine intervention, Peter rose from being a simple fisherman to become a witness of Christ. Using elements of narratology, especially Chatman’s \u003ci\u003eStory and Discourse\u003c\/i\u003e, the author demonstrates how modern literary methods could be applied to interpret ancient biblical texts. The use of \u003ci\u003ePoint of View \u003c\/i\u003ereveals how Peter – in six speeches in the Acts of the Apostles – was able to read the events of the story of Jesus into the Hebrew Scriptures and prove to his audiences that these events followed a divine plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements —\u003cb\u003eAbbreviations \u003c\/b\u003e—\u003cb\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/b\u003e—\u003cb\u003eApplication of Narratology in Biblical Exegesis \u003c\/b\u003e—\u003cb\u003eSpeech before the Christian Community \u003c\/b\u003e—The Pentecost Speech \u003cb\u003e(Acts 2:14- 36) \u003c\/b\u003e—\u003cb\u003eThe Speech in the Temple (Acts 3:12- 26) \u003c\/b\u003e—\u003cb\u003eThe First Speech before the Sanhedrin (Acts 4:8- 12) \u003c\/b\u003e—\u003cb\u003eThe Second Speech before the Sanhedrin (Acts 5:29- 32) \u003c\/b\u003e—\u003cb\u003eThe Speech in Cornelius’ House (Acts 10:34- 43) \u003c\/b\u003e—\u003cb\u003eConclusion \u003c\/b\u003e—\u003cb\u003eBibliography . \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044542087511,"sku":"9783631867174","price":41.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631867174.jpg?v=1750961964","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-story-of-jesus-through-the-eyes-of-peter-9783631867174","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
