Trans-Fictional Praxis

Trans-Fictional Praxis

By Johann-Albrecht Meylahn

Book Description

In our interconnected world, diverse cultures and worldviews intersect daily, creating complex webs of meaning that challenge traditional Western dominance. Johann-Albrecht Meylahn explores how these crossing narratives shape our global reality and offers a transformative approach to navigating this complexity.

Trans-Fictional Praxis presents a framework for understanding how different stories and belief systems traverse our modern landscape. Rather than viewing this cultural intersection as problematic, Meylahn develops it into what he calls "trans-fictional praxis" - a practical approach that honors the profound reality of our global experience.

The author examines Christianity's significant role in shaping these interconnected communities while proposing a fresh theological perspective. Through the concept of "Christ-poiesis," he envisions pathways for creating non-colonial spaces that can emerge from the shadows of established power structures.

This work addresses the political and ethical challenges that arise when multiple worldviews coexist in shared spaces. For readers seeking to understand how spiritual traditions can respond constructively to globalization, Meylahn offers both critical analysis and hopeful possibilities.

The book invites those interested in contemporary theology, cultural studies, and global ethics to consider how ancient wisdom might speak into our modern predicament. It challenges readers to think beyond traditional boundaries while remaining grounded in meaningful spiritual practice.
