Abstract

The appropriate use of the method of text analysis presupposes its fundamental knowledge, for this reason the characteristics of the Bible as ancient literature and some themes concerning the methodology of the analysis of the biblical text will be presented initially. Subsequently, various aspects of narrative analysis, its stages in application to the texts of the Hebrew Bible, and the tools the narrative method has to highlight the particular characteristics of a given narrative will be presented in an overall way. The presentation of the narrative analysis will be accompanied by a wide range of texts and examples of the application of the method. In conclusion, the question on the possibility of elaborating a single research procedure in narrative analysis will be taken into consideration.
