Correlating to the Secular Assumes its Precedence

"What all these forms of correlationist theology retain is a dualism between reason and revelation: Reason, the domain of the sciences, is conceded as an autonomous sphere that revelation either supplements (liberation theology) or overwhelms (Marion, Barth). In either case, the autonomy of theoretical thought goes unchallenged."

James K.A. Smith, Introducing Radical Orthodoxy, p. 150
