““Jonathan Tran, in the traditions of Paul Ricoeur and Stanley Hauerwas, has written about how God’s forgiveness and restoration of the world within salvation history changes the way we understand our own narratives. He writes that “we tell our stories within the story of God’s self-giving forgiveness,” for God’s forgiveness is in fact a renarration, a putting of our stories within God’s story: and “when God forgives, he re-narrates our stories . . . for restoration” with an eschatological goal in mind.[””
