ABSTRACT
Representatives of dogmatic institutions promote confessional theologies which serve the interests of already-established interpretations, and such theologies comfort lay members of such institutions who would sooner allay doubts and discrepancies than open them up. In this sense (confessional or apologetic), theology is inherently conservative. On the other hand, a radical theological thinking itself raises unsettling issues which demand an engagement with idealities of discourses and materialities
of culture (and vice versa) in order to cultivate a theological vision, or what Deleuze and Guattari call an “image of thought” which would be relentlessly honest in relation to the theological questioning. What would a theological thinking look like for which everything is at stake, precisely because nothing is settled?
