God Is Not a Story: Realism Revisited
Posted on 2010-04-12
|  |
More Francesca Aran Murphy, "" In God Is Not a Story Francesca Aran Murphy offers an original critique of narrative theologies, including the works of George Lindbeck, Robert Jenson, and Herbert McCabe. She contends that to describe Christian doctrines as 'stories' is to undermine the reality of such doctrines, and that those who use the paradigm of story or narrative in theology are more interested in theological method, or what they are 'doing when they do theology', than in the content of theological affirmations. Murphy argues that, instead of speaking of, for example, the Trinity or the Resurrection, narrative theologists tend to focus on methods for speaking of the Resurrection, the Trinity (and so on), and that this linguistic concern transforms these facts or events into 'stories'. 'Story' is conceived as plot, and, within these terms, 'God' is envisaged as the major plot vehicle within the 'story' of Christian theology, subserving its methods and techniques. Yet the Scriptural revelation on which Christian theology depends is not a story or a plot but a dramatic encounter between mysterious, free and unpredictable persons. Murphy develops an alternative approach, making use of cinema and film theory, and engaging in particular with the work of Hans Urs von Balthasar. - -
