Abstract
The necessity of a critical interpretation of dogma is evident among two
lines. First, by its nature dogma is relative to the Word of God. Second,
meanings, understanding and relevancies differ from one cultural
setting to another. Dogmas should therefore be reinterpreted into new
cultural frameworks. One implication of the recognition of cultural
relativity is that it enables us to understand the important reason why
theology has always been in a position of reformulation. The recognition
of cultural relativity means that theologians recognise the need to be
more modest, more open to theological discussion and more aware of
cultural idolatry.
