Boston Globe: A King we hardly knew
A Boson Globe article on some recently-found writings of Martin Luther King includes this quote from King:One of the great weaknesses of liberal theology is that it becomes so involved in higher criticism, in many instances that it fails to answer certain questions. . . . the weakness lies in its failure to connect the masses. Liberal theology seems to be lost in a vocabulary. Moreover, it seems too divorced from life.My first reaction is to disagree with the last sentence; liberal theology seems very connected to life to me. And I don't think it's supposed to answer questions; it's supposed to help us find the questions ourselves and find our own way to the answers.
