(Practical) Theology: A story of doubt and imagination

Theology as a story of doubt and imagination is to be understood in contrast to the traditional paradigm of theology as a system of propositional certainty. The construct of doubt and imagination is part and parcel of Narrative Theology and can be linked to Post-Foundational Theology. The relevance of this theological paradigm will be discussed, as a theology which
• is in touch with its own doubt
• is in touch with its own story (tradition)
• can therefore interact with other stories (on a interdisciplanary level) – stories of hope and despair, stories of
suffering, stories of power and of marginalisation
• can also imagine alternative stories
