If one accepts the basic premise of the sociology of knowledge - that our truths are values, culturally produced and culturally relative - then theology becomes problematic. Theology wishes to retain disciplinary autonomy. but the sociology of knowledge does not respect the boundaries that we erect between different kinds of knowledge.
