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

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

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.

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_?

Cosmopolitanism starts from the _singular_ individual rather than the _faceless_ collective
