Description

Using Narrative ethics, this book offers a unique vision for potential dialogue in a multicultural world.

Following the theology of H. Richard Niebuhr and Stanley Hauerwas, Brett Patterson contends that the relationship between religious narratives and our embodied experiences within, and outside of, communities of faith are reciprocal. Drawing together two key strands of "liberal" and "neo-orthodox" American Christian theology, this book considers how the Christian story shapes how Christians understand religious beliefs and practices through the lens of narrative theory. Ultimately, Patterson wields these insights of how religious narratives shape religious experiences to consider how to better foster more meaningful multicultural encounters.
