I consider them both non-disconnected. Not only so, I also put philosophy in theology.
To make it short, I say many arguments noted recently, (especially on figures like Kant, Barth, etc. opponents and proponents in the liberal, neo-orthodox circles, sometimes with the conservative, reformed ones), with their anologies and dialectics, are many times a hold of certain miniscule of truths.
Disagreements arise when they attempt to expand and extrapolate the truths in their elaboration. If they are not thorough, careful, they give opportunities to all kinds of attacks that are elusive in their right due to the carelessness of the elaboration.
It is like finding decimals of decimals within the infinite divisions between 1 and 2. Trouble arises when one is lost in the deepest depth one could fathom wholly.
