Abstract

In this response essay, which culminates with an application of my theory of narrative empathy to the Parable of the Good Samaritan, I comment on an article by Cornelis Bennema and engage with the ideas in the framing, introductory essay by Jan Rüggemeier and Elizabeth E. Shively. In the course of carrying out these tasks, I also offer what I hope will be broadly useful comments on fictional and nonfictional contexts for character construction, on characters and characterization, and on the way diverse actual readers engage with characters. This essay concludes with some thoughts on narrative empathy, responding to the final section of Rüggemeier and Shively’s essay, which offers comprehensive overview of empathy and sympathy as aspects of emotional reading.

在这篇以我的叙事移情理论应用于《好心人的寓言》而告终的回应文章中，我评论了Cornelis Bennema的一篇文章，并参与了Jan Rüggemeier和Elizabeth E.Shively的框架介绍性文章中的思想。在执行这些任务的过程中，我还提供了我希望能对角色构建的虚构和非虚构背景、角色和人物塑造以及不同实际读者与角色互动的方式产生广泛有用的评论。本文最后对Rüggemeier和Shively的文章的最后一部分进行了回应，对移情和同情作为情感阅读的一个方面进行了全面的概述。

期刊介绍： This innovative and highly acclaimed journal publishes articles on various aspects of critical biblical scholarship in a complex global context. The journal provides a medium for the development and exercise of a whole range of current interpretive trajectories, as well as deliberation and appraisal of methodological foci and resources. Alongside individual essays on various subjects submitted by authors, the journal welcomes proposals for special issues that focus on particular emergent themes and analytical trends. Over the past two decades, Biblical Interpretation has provided a professional forum for pushing the disciplinary boundaries of biblical studies: not only in terms of what biblical texts mean, but also what questions to ask of biblical texts, as well as what resources to use in reading biblical literature. The journal has thus the distinction of serving as a site for theoretical reflection and methodological experimentation.
