THEO 415 - Introduction to Narrative Theology

Institution:

Vanguard University of Southern California

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the implications of storytelling and narrative as a way of thinking about - and engaging in - the theological task. It is the assumption ofthis course that the conceptual categories of narrative are irreducible to other forms of thought and that they therefore represent a domain of knowledge, which possesses its own independent validity. Put differently, the think in story. For this reason, interpretation, which is sensitive to narrative form, may help to expose that value. It is the purpose of this course to develop the sensitivities necessary to understand this important dimension of religious expression.
