Recent research in the field of theology has sought to draw on voices and resources that serve to ‘interrupt’ the academic study, unsettling the history of primarily white, straight, male voices. However, much of this work has further served to delineate theology from the contexts and experiences within which it develops and becomes anew. Using research in narrative theory and the work of Thomas Bauer, this article seeks to reframe the task of political theology today not in terms of interruption, but rather as a narrative centred on the ambiguity of the tradition, one that serves to highlight the constructed nature of the practice of theology and its sources.
