Wie Geschichten Geschichte schreiben

New developments in linguistic philosophy and literary theory demand new readings of early Christian texts concerning the differentiation between factuality and fictionality. The contributions in this volume take up this challenge and introduce early Christian texts into the debate: How do these texts implement factual and fictional forms of literary representation in narrative characters, events, topics or motifs? Which intentions are implied? Which effects are aimed for? Insights into the topic's metadiscourse and its reception history complete the volume.
