Can we reconceive theological education in such a way that (1) it clearly pertains to the totality of
human life, in the public sphere as well as the private, because it bears
on all of our powers; (2) it is adequate to genuine pluralism, both of the «Christian thing» and of the worlds in which the «Christian thing» is
lived, by avoiding naiveté
about historical and cultural conditioning without lapsing into relativism; (3) it can be the unifying overarching goal of theological education without requiring the tacit assumption that there is a universal structure or essence to education in general, or theological inquiry in particular, which inescapably denies genuine pluralism by claiming to be the universal common denominator to which everything may be reduced as variations
on a theme; and (4) it can retrieve the strengths of both the «Athens» and the «Berlin» types of excellent schooling, without unintentionally subordinating one to the other?

human self is morally under obligation to God with respect to every most secret wish and thought, with respect to quickness in comprehending and readiness to follow every hint of God as to what His will is for this self.
To fail to be one's true
human self is to fail in maintaining
on one's part the right relationship with God in the divine intention for mankind and at the same moment a failure in right relationships with other men and women and children, characterized as it should be by the caring, sharing, giving, and receiving which brings
about a condition of peace and concord — which is shalom or abundance of
life.
By extension every good deed, every struggle for justice and deliverance from oppression, every effort to care for and show concern
about those who are in need, will be not merely a reflection of the divine mercy and righteousness but also an instrument for the bringing
about of just such shalom or «abundance of
life» for God's
human children, So one might go

human subjects.
