Thinking about God is historical thinking and that in two senses:
the idea of God has a history, and those who think about God think
through an historically formed mind. The task of the theologian, is
not the attempt to move outside his historicity - such an attempt
constitutes a fallacy and not a virtue - but to accept its
implications and limitations. Methodologically this means that the
theologian must point to the historical perspectives that underlie
the idea of God in its development and, in his own constructive
thought, must work self-consciously with an historical perspective
informed by the psychological and cosmological understanding of his
own time. This book centers on that idea which traditionally has
been associated with the very godness of God - the idea of divine
abso luteness - and puts certain historical, logical, religious
and, finally, cosmological questions to it. The roots of that idea
lie in Greek thought, which entered Christian theology via the
early church is much indication, particularly in Patristic fathers;
even so, there trinitarian thought, that the Biblical heritage is
pushing theological thlnking towards a social or relative concept
of divine being (ch. 1)."
