Western thought began with an attack on religious myth by
philosophers who held that the highest truth must be non-narrative
and timeless. They left a paradox to haunt us: for on the one hand
everyone knows that stories are important to us and our religion is
full of them, while on the other hand stories continue to have a
bad name as myths or fictions. It has been so difficult to say just
how stories convey truth that until recently theologians were still
trying to 'demythologize' religious belief. Now, however,
philosophy has at last become more friendly to literature. There is
talk of narrative theology and of rehabilitating story. Don Cupitt
spells out the remarkable implications of the current return of
philosophical and religious thought into time and narrative. He
shows how stories produce reality, the self and time, how they
awaken our desires and shape our lives, and how they express our
paradoxical hopes of individual and corporate redemption.
