Richard Shaull makes the following assertion, as quoted by Grounds in chapter 5 of our textbook, “Traditional Christian theology must die the death of radical reconceptualization; otherwise Christianity itself will die.” Why does he deem theological ‘reconceptualization’ so critical to the survival of Christianity?

Richard Shaull makes the following assertion, as quoted by Grounds in chapter 5 of our textbook, “Traditional Christian theology must die the death of radical reconceptualization; otherwise Christianity itself will die.” Why does he deem theological ‘reconceptualization’ so critical to the survival of Christianity? Support your answer by referring to the book.Theologians of revolution such as Rubem Alves, Paul Lehmann, Harvey Cox, Richard Shaull, and Jürgen Moltmann claim that ‘humanization’ is the primary concern of God for humanity and, therefore, it should also be the primary focus of the Christian life. What does ‘humanization’ mean to these theologians? Why is it so important to them? Why do they connect humanization to revolution? Do you agree with them? Why? Why not?Theologians of revolution tie the necessity for revolution to Jesus’ command to love one’s neighbor. However, they also agree that revolution may lead to violence. How do they reconcile the seeming contradiction between love and violence?
