Speech and Theology: Language and the Logic of Incarnation

revelation-online — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 03:58:00 GMT

James K. A. Smith argues for God's own refusal to avoid speaking as well as for our urgent need of words to make Him visible to us. This leads to a radical new "incarnational phenomenology" in which God's love endows imperfect signs with the means to indicate true states of infinitude, and in which we may ultimately discover a new theology of the arts.
