Ordinary Christology highlights the centrality of narrative for soteriology as well as for Christology. It may therefore challenge academic soteriology to produce soteriological explanations that are grounded in the concrete soteriological patterns, the web of storied connections that actually exist between the believer's story and the story of Jesus. Theism highlights the enduring importance of natural religion. The assumptions are the foundation for Christian theology in the liberal tradition presented by such as Wiles, for whom Christianity has roots in a religious sense of awe and wonder that seems to be a fundamental aspect of almost all human experience. There have been many voices in recent years calling for the re-enchantment of the Christian story, particularly the story of atonement, and new ways of telling the old story are now being told in some contexts. Traditional Christianity has generally downplayed natural religion, viewing it as a prolegomenon to revealed religion.
