“The Medievals conceived the world as a book written by God, the plot of which is given in God’s other book, the Bible. Today, however, the world is plotted by different narratives, either humanly authored (modernism) or authorless (postmodernism). Now the world writes itself; or better, it is writing itself…It is against this background—of the world writing itself—that the church continues to tell the story of God’s Christ… In Christ the world is affirmed, freed from the need to write itself, loved simply as that which is written.”
