Critics of this theology say it sought to confine God in human terms and to give significance to man's moral and spiritual activity. The Knowledge of God and the Knowledge of Man are indissolubly related and nothing can be said of the one without the other. The end of theology is the edification of the Christian man. Propositions are not adequate statements of faith. Election and Covenant are preeminent expressions of God's saving activity among men.
Every theological statement is finite, limited by a particular time and place.
Human Achievements grow out of a particular history and are limited by that history. No one creed can be elevated to an exclusive position in the life of the Church. Every statement of faith is very historical and limited by the finiteness and sin of man. It's a choice between the integrity of the Christian community and the problems of heresies, errors, and blashphemies. No man is good enough or wise enough to tell another man what his religion should be.
