Curious Christian

Mark Driscoll had some interesting words to say on narrative preaching that I thought were worth chewing the cud over. In "A Narrative Approach: Will it Preach?" he says this:

"The trend today is away from propositional truth: 'We don’t need propositional truth. We need narrative truth and embodied truth.' Actually, if we’re going to be multi-perspectival, we need all of it."

I think this is quite true. A truly holistic approach demands a both/and response, not an either/or response.  Yet I do get the feeling that he's missed something. There's not a word said on how a narrative approach to the gospels or acts, which are truly narrative, could be helpful. Like a true Reformed boy he skips over them as quick as possible to get talking about Romans again. And there's no word on how narrative preaching has been very successful in Africa, that mostly ignored land where Christianity is growing so vigorously. So I think he overstates his case, but, and this is a big but, I think he is essentially correct in cautioning against overcorrection. So how far do you think we should take it?
