Curvature and Orientation: A Structural Account of the Christian Story

This paper offers a structural account of the Christian story by identifying the orientation required for its coherence. Rather than treating Christianity as a set of doctrines to be defended, it presents the narrative as a description of reality: the curvature of the human condition, the structure of creation, and the alignment embodied in Jesus. The central claim is that theological confusion arises not from Scripture itself but from the inward‑bent posture of the reader. When orientation is restored, the coherence of the Christian story becomes visible, and its universal relevance emerges. This paper clarifies that structure and proposes a framework for reading the Christian narrative from alignment rather than curvature.
