Moltmann on dogmatic thinking

 

‘[D]ogmatic thinking in theology likes to express itself in theses; not in theses for discussion, but in theses that are simply promulgated, which evoke agreement or rejection, but not independent thinking and responsible decision. They enforce their own ideas on the listener; they do not help him to formulate his own’. – Jürgen Moltmann, Trinity and the Kingdom of God: The Doctrine of God (trans. by Margaret Kohl; Minneapolis: Fortress, 1993), xii.
