the overall theme of theology can be twofold: the search for meaning and the responsibility one has to the others.

Theology should be a discourse that helps the sociopolitical approach to justice to maintain its human face and not to become impersonal.

Cosmopolitan theology is a theology for _the impossible_.

Cosmopolitanism emphasizes and is grounded in a _singular relationality between and among people

Cosmopolitanism is a radical affirmation of the idea of neighbor/enemy-love-as-self love...Cosmopolitanism is about a cosmic scope of justice and hospitality––another name for _love_.

I believe theology should be about one's way of life, a kind of gaze into onesself and others, and a mode of one's profound existence in the world.

Cosmopolitan discourse...provides one with a _public gaze_ with which one can relate oneself to others in a different way.

The question is not, therefore, _whether_ a theory is grand or small, or whether it is universal/global or particular/local, but _what function_ a theory plays and _whose interest_ it serves.

I want to affirm that thinking and living, knowing and doing, theory and practice intersect.

Theological discourse can be, in and of itself, a form of identity and solidarity.

How can one maintain a theological confidence in what one claims to be _true_ while acknowledging the existence of multiple religions that also claim to be _true_?

We are never so much disposed to quarrel with others as when we are dissatisfied with ourselves.
