Deconstruction was a term first coined by the philosopher Jacques Derrida in the 1960’s. Derrida’s use of the term was not about tearing down and building. Rather it meant becoming more mindful of the way we use words. Words themselves can privilege power, and we need to attend to the way words can shape narratives. In this teach we will deconstruct what we mean by the term deconstruction and discover that it is not a singular term or static experience. Rather, there are various dynamic ways— both helpful and unhelpful— of going through deconstruction. And ultimately, there is way of understanding deconstruction that sees Jesus at the centre of this journey.
