Narrative Theology

A movement that seeks standards of truth from the biblical narrative itself, but is criticized for potentially veering into relativism by disconnecting the narrative from eternal truth.

Filed underHermeneutics

A movement that rightly seeks to adopt standards of truth and reasoning from the biblical narrative itself, often errs in rejecting the biblical position of objective truth and veering into relativism by disconnecting the truth portrayed in the narrative from the eternal truth that gave rise to the narrative of Scripture.
