Week 1, Bevans, Chapter 1 (Contextual Theology)

It is amazing to me how radical these statements by Bevans were at one time.  Perhaps the concept that we think about God in ways that align with what we have been taught about God (via family, education, and a myriad of other cultural vehicles) is still not accepted in some circles.  What a tragedy that we would ever think that we know the truth completely and our job is merely to shove the truth down the throats of anyone we meet.  The whole concept of promoting and engaging in a theology from and for a particular culture boils down to one word for me, "humility."
