Subjectivity
"Christian theology is never just a rational study of the being of God. Rather it is a study of God’s liberating activity in the world, God’s activity in behalf of the oppressed." - James H. Cone ; A Black Theology of Liberation
"Theology is subjective speech about God, a speech that tells us far more about the hopes and dreams of certain God-talkers than about the Maker and Creator of heaven and earth."
-
James Cone ;
The God of the Oppressed
