Routledge Speech and Theology - Language and Logic of Incarnation

Explore the complex relationship between human speech and divine transcendence in Speech and Theology: Language and the Logic of Incarnation. Part of the Routledge Radical Orthodoxy series, this work addresses a fundamental challenge in theology: how finite language can communicate an infinite God without reducing Him to mere immanence. This book examines the core problems surrounding divine revelation and the limitations of human understanding. It asks whether speaking of God undermines His unknowability or if the very act of speech provides a way to make transcendence known. Readers will engage with deep questions regarding how the appearance of the divine affects its status as a transcendent being. Ideal for scholars, theologians, and students of language and philosophy, this text provides a rigorous investigation into the conditions of revelation. It offers a way to think about the encounter between the human and the divine through the lens of linguistic possibility and the logic of incarnation.
