The use of narrative in contemporary theological discourse

Abstract

The contemporary theological discourse is still understood as something restricted to the ecclesiastical and clerical ambit. Nevertheless, the theologian's task to use new languages to reach new fields and ease the dialogue still remains. It is observed as even more complex in a plural scene as the present days. For this reason, the narrative, as a theological language, presents a reading key to Christology, used by the contemporary french theologian, Joseph Moingt. Through this key, it is supposed to give a relevant and convincing answer to the question repeated all the time: who is Jesus of Nazareth and what he means for our relationship with God?
