Rejecting the meta-narrative is a concept I still don’t appreciate. Broadly speaking, I think I understand it to mean a single over-arching narrative is not acceptable in a post-modern, pluralistic culture (or cultures). One size doesn’t fit all, one language isn’t enough, we cannot truly know whether any of it is true, etc.
Would someone please tell me concisely if and why we should reject the Biblical worldview narrative, “Creation, fall, redemption and restoration”? If we should, then surely it can be concisely explained. And if you are patient enough to do so, can you explain what you mean by, “I like the ecclesiology, the theology and the Scripture reading that comes from its end”?
Thanks.
Leroy
