Thank you Daisy.

1. Flip to page 18, paragraph 4 in the book closest to you right now, what does it say?
Well, it doesn't have 4 paragraphs on page 18. Here is the only complete one.
It will become fairly obvious to the reader that the method and content of theology presented in the following chapters is considerably influenced by Karl Barth's approach to theology and by his creative reinterpretation of the Reformed theological tradition. At the same time, contributions from both the theologies of correlation and praxis will also be apparent. The ecumenical church has learned - and will no doubt continue to learn - from the methods of Christocentric and correlational theologies. It has, however, only begun to learn from the insights and methods of the contextual and liberation theologies. Writing from a prison cell, Bonhoeffer reflected on what theology and the church should have learned from having been compelled to live for ten years through the horrors and sufferings of the Nazi regime: "There remains [for us] an experience of incomparable value. We have for once learnt to see the great events of world history from below, from the perspective of the outcast, the suspects, the maltreated, the powerless, the oppressed, the reviled - in short, from the perspective of those who suffer."
Faith Seeking Understanding, D. Migliore
