An epistemology of facilitation: A Julian Müller story

Abstract

The article furthered an epistemology of facilitation. It was created through bringing into focus broad movements in Julian Müller’s theoretical academic development. Rather than explaining at length the epistemological concepts characterising Müller’s theoretical development – rightly because of the importance of narrative in Julian Müller’s work – the article sought to link a social psychological dimension of both Müller and the author to these concepts. Resulting from Müller’s work, the author regarded a narrative approach, social constructionism and postfoundationalism as important epistemological conversational partners in practical theological facilitation.
