My primary critique of Hunt’s piece is that while he replaces old categories of religious self-understanding with new categories that supposedly facilitate more fruitful interreligious conversations, I am cautious about the degree to which categories are helpful. My critique is threefold critique: first, religious identity is only part of the full narrative of the individual. For example, I suspect that though I self-identify as a Lutheran (a principled Lutheran according to Hunt’s taxonomies), my narrative of my religious identity is only part of a larger story – the complex, beautiful, entire story of Kari.
