49) I. Two Paradigms of Catholic Moral Theology (Blankenhorn, 2007) Blankenhorn (2007) reports that everyone is "to some extent the product" of their culture and whether they like it, or whether they do not like it they are "influenced by modern developments in theology, philosophy, science and historical studies
However, it is reported that Innocent XI "without commenting on this text, condemned the possibility of justly killing the attacker of one's honor even as a last resort." (Curran, 1999, p

The ontological sanctity of the church is, therefore, the foundation for the moral or lived-out holiness of the church." (Osborne,2009, p
Their book; God and the World in a Transitional Age (1992), is said to give their interpretation of how religious theology developed in a modern age along with how they saw the divine transcendence and immanence from evangelical viewpoint. In their opinion, they argue that Christian theology for many years have always sought a balance between the biblical truths of the divine transcendence and immanence (Grenz and Olson, 1992, p

Evangelical Theology Transcendence and immanence define the way persons relate to each other (Willsey, 2003)
The Latin people are said to have developed the theology by radical understanding of the Bible biased to the people. The movement was brought in limelight by armed pastors who yearned for change, and this is the reason why many churches today had people carrying weapons and guns to show how the church is fighting for their liberation (Kevin & Burke, 2011)
As a result, there have been positive aspects brought about by feminist theological concept, especially on the issues relating to Christianity. Christianity have accepted women and identified them to be of a great value in society regardless of their weak outlook (Mitchel, 2011)
According to Bradley (2008), he argues that Black theology is a theology of black liberation that plumb the black condition in the light of God's revelation in Jesus Christ; it emancipates black people from white racism, therefore providing authentic freedom for white and black people. In his book, "A Black Theology of Liberation" James Cone, the chief architect of Black Liberation Theology developed black theology as a system in 1970 (Powe, 2011)
Aquinas vision of reality "a true pluralism of philosophies and theologies was endorsed and affirmed…" however, both the council and subsequent ecclesiastical documents are stated to endorse only "a pluralism which can sustain an understanding of revelation which includes Christianity's historical identity and universal normativity " (McMahon, 2009 It is stated that the postliberal or 'cultural-linguistic' model views religion as "self-enclosed language games in which doctrines operate as grammatical rules." (Marmion, 2005 ) the view of postliberalism is one in which the text of the Bible absorbs the world instead of the world absorbing the text
" The documents of Vatican II defines a doctrine "in conformity with revelation itself." (Thiselton, 2007 ) Therefore, doctrine is fluid instead of static from this view

Likewise, just as the theologian needs to be clear on exactly what he does or does not believe, and his unique understanding of these elements, there still needs to be an admission by the theologian of the mysteries of faith, religion, a higher power and of the universe at large. Consider the following: "If faith went unquestioned by human intelligence, if of itself it could maintain and transmit itself without the obligation of entering into debate with whatever considers it from the outside or criticizes it or distorts it, there would certainly be no need for theology: faith would be self-sufficient" (Dore, 2003)
Perhaps the most distressing aspect of death is that of separation -- being forcibly, and it might seem irreversibly, cut off from close friends and relatives, never to see them again. Classical mourning rites and funeral ornaments point to the sense of desolation that traditionally accompanied the death of a significant other" (McGrath, 2011)
Among the many intricate and often overlapping tasks of a theologian is the necessity of fostering a sense of understanding with faith and theology. "Christians want to understand what they believe, what they can hope for, and what they ought to love" (Migliore, 2004)
Thus, the theologian must pursue truth and keep asking questions while instilling his work and his journey with a certain amount of human qualities which are able to sustain him and connect him with his congregation. The expert Johann-Baptist Metz, believes that the modern theologian has three primary duties: "to protect the narratives from distortion, to decode dogmas into once again dangerous memories, to use methods of inquiry that highlight the political" (Tynan, 2014)
Thus, it's the responsibility of the theologian to have tools and resources connected to one's faith and to one's biblical texts that are able to provide some sense of comfort and some sense of relief about the great unavoidability of death and the tremendous amount of the unknown which is generally connected to death. Furthermore, there needs to be a strong practice of faith in relation to God, in relation to other people, in relation to other creatures, and in relation to the self (Wei, 2014)
Aristotle classed the sciences under the heads of physics, mathematics, and theology," or "those which concern nature, number and quantity, and that which concerns God." (Hodge, 2002) Theology is a systematic examination, in other words of particular truths about God within a tradition or a culture
