We all live in a storied world. As Christians we have local stories (family, school, church) but also make claims that these local stories are part of a larger story, a story which is linear (not cyclic) and is going somewhere.
Even to adopt this view (linear and going somewhere) is to bring a meta-narrative into being.

I think that anyone who doesn’t understand that Jesus is Jewish has not fully appreciated the Christian Meta-Narrative. Obviosuly there is no one full Christian Meta-Narrative but to affirm God as creator and to look for the new creation are the meta-narrative booke ends to Christian Orthodoxy in these increasingly post-modern world.
