Revelations and Story - Narrative Theology and the Centrality of Story (Paperback)

From the work of Hegel and Schelling to the dialectical theology of Barth, Bultmann and Gogarten, Revelation has developed a long, rich tradition of diverse thought, as well as many misunderstandings. Meaning, first and foremost, God's encounter with those to whom God wishes to communicate God's own self, Revelation seeks to be recounted and communicated to others. As a theological expression, Revelation aims to direct oour attention to the modes and areas in which we have a basis for expecting encounter with God - through stories, nature, the world as creation. From a rediscovered emphasis on story, narrative theology has emerged - a concept the English-speaking world has welcomed for its neutrality between history and imaginative fiction and stress on narrative rather than doctrinal dimension of biblical text.
