Bases for a didactic of Theology from the “narrative paradigm”

Abstract

This article affirms that teaching theology is not a simple matter of just learning concepts. Since theology, according to some authors, has a more practical objective: holiness. These statements are brought about by narrative theology from two fundamental categories: Christian revelation as history and narrativity. From these concepts two didactic lines are drawn which are similar with regards to a vision that considers that the theological knowledge has a narrative structure. In this sense, Christian life is similar: “a didactics as the education of the view” and “a didactics as the education of memory”. Then, some theology teaching strategies are shaped. Those strategies would contribute to cause the theological discourse in the life itself of theology students.
