dave, that's what it's about - "the narratives" of our lives. couldn't agree more that there's a shifting paradigm, and I actually think it's pretty ancient. you get the sense that jesus was constantly surrounded by people in his ministry who hadn't "signed on" yet. Heck, Nicodemas needs a second experience with Jesus before he has some hint of loyalty. Bro, I think it's part of the economic shift that has swept the church off its feet and left it confused: in a market driven by finished, pre-packaged commoditties, we all the sudeen thought that's how salvation should happen. Now, following Marx, that that vision of economics is being challenged as exploitative, I think we've got a great opportunity for re-evaluating how the process of genuinely being born again actually happens in all of our experiences. Of course, I'm a sold-out follower of Christ, but I still very much consider myself to be in the process of being born again.

Anyways, it's interesting to map economic shifts onto what you're pointing out. Seems to explain some things. What if the Scriptures has an alternative vision of things and how they're circulated in human community, and what if this should give us a heads up about how salvation happens? Strikes me as how my narrative has unfolded.
