Newman's passion for abstruse matters of theology strikes Wilson as escapism or worse. |
Seminaries, schools of theology, divinity schools, and churches must face the pressing and rising presence of diversity. |
In 1984 he moved to Canada, where he did a masters in divinity and licentiate in moral theology at the University of Toronto. |
He fears that liberal theologies ultimately reduce the kingdom of God to a this-worldly social and political program. |
If nothing else, he calls on the church to theologize in its contemporary global context in dialogue with the theologies of the Old Testament. |
Predictably, those trying to be midwives to these new theologies are being criticized as heretics, unorthodox, disturbers of the peace, etc. |
