'Theology is in every case contextual. The theology we create will inevitably be influenced in all kinds of subtle ways by the social and material environment within which we live and work. In many cases we might simply be unaware of such influences, we may have no interest in them, or we may positively choose to ignore them. Alternatively there may be places which prompt us to make locality a strength and to see in it the opportunity - perhaps even necessity - for acknowledging its role in the formation of responsible and generative theological, even doctrinal, thought.'
Davies, Oliver. 'Violence in Bloomsbury: A Theological Challenge' International Journal of Systematic Theology 8 (2006), p. 252.
Everything we perceive and believe is established in context. Nothing can be separated from context.
