"Alethurgic" Discourses on Jesus. The Gospel-Narrations as "True Discourses" (original) (raw)

The paper explores the complexities of presenting the historical figure of Jesus, focusing on the narrative structures within the Gospel accounts. It critiques the modern paradigm that seeks to construct a life of Jesus, arguing that such an approach often overlooks the contextual and cultural dimensions influencing the reception of these narratives. By examining ancient historiography and contemporary interpretations through philosophical lenses, especially John L. Austin's speech act theory, the research delves into the relationship between history, storytelling, and faith, raising essential questions about truth and the preservation of Jesus's discourses.
