This thesis on narrative theology aimed to investigate how the theological discourse in the history of Christianity was “plastered” by the idea of orthodox theology propagated by a certain group of Christians in the early years of the emergence of the Christian religion. The hypothesis that permeates our thesis is to defend that there are several narrative theologies and that these constitute the voices through which the most diverse groups of Christians express their experiences with God. Narrative theology as a means of reflecting on one's own faith makes it possible for us to understand all this diversity of theology in the Christian religion. For this reason, we take the Mormon religion as an example, as there are others, of what we defend by narrative theology and, as a reference, the Book of Mormon, a work translated in 1830 by Joseph Smith. It should be noted that narrative theology constitutes an extremely important element for the construction and reflection of the ethnic/cultural identity of the most diverse Christian communities throughout the history of Christianity. To achieve our thesis, we analyze how Joseph Smith, born in a Christian home, appropriates and reconfigures the theological discourse, to bring a new perspective regarding God, Jesus, the Church.
