To say that our theological statements carry the contamination of
human fallenness and finitude does not mean that we can’t say true
things. We can. It means that we say true things with a sense of
humility and a sense that we may be wrong, we may be incomplete, we
may need to rethink or reformulate to one degree or another our
theological statements. I believe that truth is primarily discovered
relationally, that is, in relationship to God and with help of the
Spirit; not just rationally by applying the mind to the biblical
text. Don’t think that I’m saying truth is discovered “irrationally.”
Truth is transrational. Since the Enlightenment the West at worshiped
at the altar of human rationality (the laws of non-contradiction,
etc.) and sought to discover truth with laws of the mind. This is
idolatry. We treat theology like any other discipline of, and I hate
to say it, “science.” Gag.
