TLDR
In this article, the authors argue that narrativity has the potential to be a key hermeneutical concept in ecumenical theology and propose transformation as the ultimate horizon of the faith and practice of the Christian koinonia.Abstract:
This article argues that narrativity has the potential to be a key hermeneutical concept in ecumenical theology.
