Theologians have a great problem because they're seeking to speak about God. Since God is the ground of everything that is, there's a sense in which every human inquiry is grist to the theological mill. Obviously, no theologian can know everything. ↗

It is inconceivable to me that a million or three million or half a million human beings will think and feel precisely the same way on any single subject. ↗
