Auch die Theologie als Gotteslehre wird nur dann sprachfahig, wenn sie der Vernunft mitteilbar oder unmittelbar gegeben ist. Das gilt auch fur evtl. irrationale Schichten in ihr, die nur dann zur Sprache kommen konnen, wenn sie der Ratio gegeben sind. Aus diesem notwendigen "Gegebensein" fur die Vernunft werden die verschiedenen Gestalten des Gottdenkens "gegebenseinskritisch" untersucht, auch z.B. das Gefuhl, aber auch der Atheismus. Als Ergebnis folgt fur sie der antinomische Charakter aller Gottesgedanken, so dass letztlich nur die christliche Feindesliebe mit ihrem simul iustus et peccator alle theologischen Gestaltungen als Einheit sehen und auf den immer noch grosseren Gott richtungsmassig hinweisen kann. Doch auch dieser Weg will gegebenseinskritisch bedacht sein."
