From Paul Ricoeur's Narrative Identity to Theology of Self
Автор:Yuan I Lin Год: 2011 Издание:LAP Lambert Academic Publishing Страниц: 204 ISBN: 9783845438542 Theology of self is developed through Ricoeur’s narrative identity, which is theologically integrated with the Christian concept of righteousness. Theology of Self, as integrated with a narrative builds upon and strengthens Christian righteousness and Christian identity. The scope or limitations of the research will focus mainly upon Ricoeur’s theories of narrative identity from a Christian theological perspective and application. Theology of Self is in support of Christian identity. The Christian values as such, concern Christian righteousness as taught in the Bible and wrought through the crucifixion, resurrection and ultimate salvation of Jesus. Therefore, by viewing Ricoeur’s theory theologically, a Theology of Self becomes a particularly Christian discussion regarding righteousness, identity, testimony and Christian expectations.
