Om denne bog
The storytelling impulse lies very deep within human cultures; indeed, it is fundamental to the very concept of human culture itself. What, then, is humankind, according to the great story types of tragedy, epic, and comedy? What do each of these genres say about us, and about what transcends us? Building on a critical discussion of the great genres of the Western literary tradition, Michael P. Jensen argues that each of these contains a “theo-anthropology”—a theological understanding of the human creature. He then shows how questions of identity, purpose, and destiny are addressed within each genre, concluding that human existence is a “storied nature” shaped by the various literary forms that have fostered human cultural imagination. These genres provide crucial keys to vital anthropological and theological questions when put in conversation with Christian theology; as Jensen shows, the Christian story, “the gospel,” shares many observations about the human condition with the great genres, but offers a different “sense of ending.”
