"When did Christian narratives become meta-narrative? In whose eyes and for whom? Are we exaggerating the place of Christian narratives in a world where Christianity is not the dominant religion? Even though governments with strong military powers and rigorous warfare tactics are from Christian countries, Christianity is not the grand religion. Why do we imagine that Christian narratives are the only narratives that post modernity challenges? Given that we are Christians, we see our narratives as grand. They are grand for us, and we are many; but they are not grand for everyone, and they are more.
