Abstract

I wish to conclude my exercise of looking at the ethical dimen-sions of particular narratives through exploring texts that, though not written recently, have tremendous influence on contemporary Western culture and, in turn, contemporary Western narratives. The Hebrew Bible and the Christian New Testament are two texts (actually many texts) whose contribution to Western culture’s literary canon are obvious and undeniable, in particular in relation to character, plot, theme, and religious/theological ideology. I have heard since my early years in school that a person cannot understand the ‘classic’ literature of Western culture if s/he does not know the Hebrew Bible and the Christian New Testament.
