Maurits J. Sinninghe Damsté studies the questions in Luke 1:5–2:52 and their role in the communication between a text's implied author and reader. His method begins with syntax before examining meaning, dialogue and narrative structure.
Close analyses of questions involving Zacharias, Mary and Jesus explore how information is disclosed, withheld and clarified. The study distinguishes communication among characters from communication directed toward the reader, treating questions as devices that move the narrative forward. The complete dissertation includes detailed textual analyses and appendices.
