We say at Metanexus that we are after something like “the whole story of the whole cosmos for the whole person.” We are “after” it, because we do not have it. What we do have are the stories told to us and by us in our various academic fields and intellectual areas of expertise. We have the stories told to us and by us in our diverse faith traditions and our various cultural contexts. We have the stories told to us and by us in the very formation and structure of our institutions–educational and commercial, religious and political.
We should not deny the validity or value of any of these partial, constituent, “regional,” stories that we’ve worked so hard together to construct, that we’ve become so invested in, usually with very strong reasons for being so. But what we want—what we need—is the “whole” story, the story of our stories, the story of how all these stories hang together.
