| Summary: | Mapping the nexus of narrative, tradition, and community is no simple task, yet it constitutes only the introduction to Alexander Lucie-Smith's installment in Ashgate's New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies Series. The names of the author's selected dialogue partners form an impressive list, and the resulting argument, while wide-ranging, is persuasive on many counts. His methodology shows ambition, imagination and humour (p. 50: ‘to be from Texas does not disqualify one as a thinker!’). Other literary devices evident here were not so well plotted: even as Lucie-Smith seeks to develop a theoretical basis for a ‘narrative moral theology,’ his presentation ironically deprives narrative theology of some of its deepest roots. |
