Description
Naming God presents a comprehensive examination of how philosophers, theologians, and scriptural traditions approach the fundamental question of addressing the divine. Janet Soskice brings together insights from multiple disciplines to explore the linguistic, conceptual, and spiritual challenges inherent in naming God.
The book investigates how different religious and philosophical traditions have grappled with divine naming conventions, from classical theology to contemporary thought. Soskice analyzes the relationship between language and transcendence, examining whether and how human language can adequately express divine attributes and nature.
Through careful analysis of scriptural texts, philosophical arguments, and theological frameworks, this work illuminates the tension between the need to speak about God and the limitations of human language. Essential for scholars, theologians, and students of religious studies seeking to understand the philosophical foundations of religious discourse.
