Description

Exploring God-talk maps the contours of religious language.

It surveys the variety of ways in which religious believers both speak to God and speak about God, and tries to respond to the serious criticisms that have been raised of different aspects of our 'God-talk'.

Beginning with an overview of the variety of ways in which language is used in faith and religion, the book moves on to consider the functions of language in religious experience and the religious life, particularly in prayer and worship.

Two chapters are the devoted to a consideration of the important area of 'descriptive' God-talk, both figurative and literal.

Problems relating to the meaningfulness of religious language and the interpretation of the Scripture are also addressed, and the pastoral and ethical significance of God-talk explored.

Illustrations are drawn throughout from both everyday speech and the Christian tradition.
