Theologen schreiben oft ausladend und unpräzise. Diese Kritik nehme auch ich mir zu Herzen. Richard Swinburne (*1934), englischer Religionsphilosophe aus Oxford, schreibt:
It is one of the intellectual tragedies of our age that when philosophy in English-speaking countries has developed high standards of argument and clear thinking, the style of theological wirting has been largely influenced by the continental philosophy of Existentialism, which, despite its considerable other merits, has been distinguished by a very loose and sloppy style of argument.
