Slightly more than half of the Old Testament is made up of narrative texts, most of which have a clearly stated historiographical intention. This shows the place occupied by historical memory in the thought and religion of ancient Israel. This book presents a state of research on biblical historiography and offers avenues for analyzing the narrative texts of the Bible, oriented, some towards the text and its history, others towards the context of the reader. The major challenge is to combine a rigorous approach with an educational presentation, the challenge being to make the text sufficiently accessible to students and uninitiated readers while remaining attractive and relevant for specialists. This book therefore represents an excellent introduction to the subject for the general public and a precious clarification for teachers of biblical theology on the relationship of biblical texts with history. But it also opens the debate on questions of reading and interpreting these texts in the African context today. Jean Koulagna, theologian and biblical scholar, has been teaching the Old Testament, biblical languages and philology for more than two decades. Alongside his administrative responsibilities in theological education, he actively participates in university biblical research in several international projects as well as in the translation and revision of the Bible in the Dii language, in northern Cameroon. He is the author of a dozen books and several articles, the most recent being The Torah Under the Tree: Orality in the Oldest Sources of the Book of Genesis (Langham Publishers, 2021).

Un peu plus de la moitié de l’Ancien Testament est constituée par des textes narratifs dont la plupart ont une intention historiographique clairement affirmée. Cela montre la place qu’occupe la mémoire historique dans la pensée et la religion de l’ancien Israël.
Le présent ouvrage présente un état de la recherche sur l’historiographie biblique et propose des pistes d’analyse des textes narratifs de la Bible, orientées, certaines vers le texte et son histoire, d’autres vers le contexte du lecteur. Le défi majeur est d’allier une démarche rigoureuse avec un exposé pédagogique, l’enjeu étant de rendre le texte suffisamment accessible aux étudiants et aux lecteurs non-initiés tout en restant attractif et pertinent pour les spécialistes.
Ce livre représente donc une excellente entrée en matière pour le grand public et une précieuse mise au point pour les enseignants de théologie biblique sur le rapport des textes bibliques avec l’histoire. Mais il ouvre également le débat sur les questions de lecture et d’interprétation de ces textes dans le contexte africain aujourd’hui.
Jean Koulagna, théologien et bibliste, enseigne l’Ancien Testament, les langues et la philologie bibliques depuis plus de deux décennies. Parallèlement à ses responsabilités administratives dans la formation théologique, il participe activement à la recherche biblique universitaire dans plusieurs projets internationaux ainsi qu’à la traduction et la révision de la Bible en langue dii, dans le nord du Cameroun. Il est l’auteur d’une douzaine d’ouvrages et de plusieurs articles, le plus récent étant La Torah sous l’arbre : l’oralité dans les plus anciennes sources du livre de Genèse (Langham Publishers, 2021).
