| Summary: | This article seeks resources in the Christian theological tradition for addressing the circumstance of cross-cultural encounter. It proposes the model of ‘conversation’ as an alternative to ‘dialogue’, and the aesthetic phenomenon of ‘secondary belief’ as an analogue for the subjunctive state of the self who would indwell and participate in the perspectives of the cultural ‘other’ in pursuit of understanding. Christian participants in such imaginative ventures, it argues, will be true to their own Christ-centred commitments and identity only to the extent that they eschew appeals to a determinate meaning and truth, and are willing instead to risk the fiduciary perspectives granted them by a Word who genuinely takes flesh.† |
