dozing theology sub specie scientiae

theology and theologians – at least in the 20th century and now – cannot be well understood without recognizing that they think, speak and write about theology – it would be too much to say of "God", but of all things related to a diversified and proliferated theology(ies), religion(s), Bible studies, exegesis (also of exegesis), etc, etc, etc – in a kind of blithe earthly doze, and that in a mentality, individually and collegially, intellectualized, ie in a widely-shared intellectualizing system which is rather sub specie scientiae, sub specie mundi, than with/in any real sense theology sub specie dei.
