"I cannot but be thankful for the strong Christian context I come from. It has always been my source of inspiration for my theological thinking. However, there is a danger of identifying oneself too much with one's own context so that one takes for granted his/her everyday life - whether it be religious or otherwise. There is the danger of theology being very self-complacent."
