I did get a few questions answered in this chapter, especially in the part talking about the criteria for orthodoxy suggested by De Mesa and Wostyn, and Robert Schreiter later on.
There has to be thin line between ‘valid’ theology and heresy, and it seems to me that even though contextualizing theology is an imperative, it must be done cautiously, rigorously, in prayer and guided by the Spirit.
I love the image of the theologian being a midwife, working alongside people in a specific culture to guide them and help them find their own marks.
Fascinating book.
