Response to Gavin D’Costa
Theological method: tradition is traditio not traditum
God: where is the God of Aquinas and the Catholic mystics?
Religions: the majority of Catholic theologians view the religions as possible ‘ways of salvation’
The Church: no longer necessary for salvation
Christology: Jesus Christ is the sacrament of God
Response to Daniel Strange
Theological method: the danger of biblical idolatry and fideism

Theology: is the theologian a translator or an interpreter? If theology is ‘faith seeking understanding’, which counts more?
1. Christianity has never been culturally ‘naked’
2. Neither ‘faith’ nor ‘understanding’ has the priority
How do we know what is ‘objective’ or ‘ontological’?
God and the world: do they exist co-equally?
Accusation: Knitter denies the aseity and sovereignty of God. Plea: guilty!
Jesus: how does he uniquely save?
1. I have a false problem with exclusive claims
2. I refuse to accept the clear and conscious claims of the New Testament
3. I fall into Gnosticism by reducing salvation to knowledge
