A grave error is to conflate theology with biblical truth. Your theology is biblical truth only insofar as it is grounded in the Word of God and aptly applied by the Holy Spirit. Theology is likewise never exhaustive of biblical truth but can still be faithfully sufficient.
Theology is always contextual by its very nature of being a human endeavor to understand and apply the knowledge of God, of which we cannot have compete grasp of since God is God and we are not. Contextualization frames biblical truth comprehensibly within human frailty.
Theology therefore is shaped and formed both positively and negatively by its human agents who attempt to systematize biblical truth understandably. A theologian's perspective shapes what questions she asks or doesn't ask of God's Word &impacts the extent of the answer she seeks.
Theology is meant to be done not only within community but also inter- and cross-communally. Every theological perspective has cultural blindspots and spheres where theology has not been deployed robustly. We enrich one another as we equally share in the endeavor of theology.
Every theologian -aka every Christian - should at minimum seek a dual education of a theological perspective of their own and that of another. This doesn't require seminary or graduate level studies, but it requires a complete reworking of church discipleship and curricula.
By seeking dual education, Christians become sensitized to the ways in which they have wrongly assumed their own perspective as being normal, default, or uncontextual. They become aware of ways they have unfairly critiqued other perspectives as being less rigorous or thoughtful.
A dual education is preparatory work for a thorough global theology, something that all Christians will eventually have in the New Heavens and New Earth as we worship the Lamb from the ends of the earth in our own contexts, cultures, and languages fully redeemed from sin.
Some Christians have already gotten a head start on dual education due to their unique situations. Many Christians of color have had to walk between at least two worlds of Christendom and become fluent in both contexts. They have much to teach White Christians about theology.
Many White Christians, having the benefit of being able to assume their theological systems as default and uncontextualized, have been unable and/or unwilling to pursue a dual education and as a result are isolated from the global church and susceptible to their blindspots.
