N2 - "How does the Christian faith actually work: as a worldview, as a story, as a larger vision of life within which the smaller categories of politics, ethics, and spirituality were designed to make sense? That is, after all, what the Bible itself is offering: one single (if complex and multifaceted) narrative worldview. Scripture is a story. And, if we fail to appreciate this, we will not only misread scripture but scripture's key character--and, from here, we are likely to misread so much else."
