Disbeief in the Twisted Mirror: more on cooking theology

Quote (from: HERE):

我有一次很希奇，一個英國劍橋大學的神學博士，講神學講座的時候，他的題目變成「廚房神學」，在廚房怎麼煮菜的神學。題目用完了，就講這些吸引人的題目，盼望有一些家庭主婦也來聽神學講座。我想「在做什麼？難道神的道已經沒有可講的嗎？難道聖經裡面的知識我們已經講完了嗎？」

Mind you, he is not talking about me.

What a classical demonstration of attacking the straw man, of shooting without a real target (無的放矢), of prejudging without truly knowing (don't even imagine 'understanding') the object of criticism, of gender bias and stereotyping. But I'll set aside all these, as there is a more fundamental issue at stake here.

According to this 'paradigm' (if there is any), there is no relationship between theology or the talk of God and everyday life. Hence theology and daily life are two totally unrelated (and unrelatable) realms. If that is the case, then, what has God to do with us?

To the best of my limited knowledge, that is not the God portrayed in the Hebrew and Christian Bible.

Anyway, those who are familiar enough with the Chinese-language theological scene (or at least that in Hong Kong) might probably be able to guess who he is talking about. This reminds me of the fact that that noted theologian from Hong Kong has written a book entitled 《廚房哲學》 (Kitchen Philosophy)，and then two or three elaborations on that.
