The article deals with narratology and the New Testament. A few introductory remarks explain the context of interpretation and the need for a narratological approach to certain New Testament writings. In two major sections the theme is developed from a literary‐historical perspective and applied to certain New Testament writings. It is argued that too much emphasis has been placed on the origin of New Testament documents and that a narratological approach of some of them is of particular importance. The gospels, Acts of the Apostles and the Revelation of John are discussed as narratives in the second part of the article
