Humility theology

Humility theology

Humility theology is a school of thought founded by John Templeton. [Templeton 2003, p. 55-65] [cite web |url=http://www.meaning.ca/archives/presidents_columns/pres_col_nov_2003.htm |title=I'm glad that I'm a nobody: A positive psychology of humility by Paul T. P. Wong, Ph.D., C. Psych. November 2003 |accessdate=2008-08-12] In this system Templeton wonders whether humility can be a "gateway to knowledge" [Templeton 2003, p. 58] , "a key to progress" [Templeton 2003, p. 60] , and "a pathway for transformation" [Templeton 2003, p. 61]
