In Reference and Identity in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim
Scriptures: The Same God?, D. E. Buckner argues that all reference
is story-relative. We cannot tell which historical individual a
person is talking or writing about or addressing in prayer without
familiarity with the narrative (oral or written) which introduces
that individual to us, so we cannot understand reference to God,
nor to his prophets, nor to any other character mentioned in the
Jewish, Christian, or Muslim scriptures, without reference to those
very scriptures. In this context we must understand God as the
person who "walked in the garden in the cool of the day" (Gen.
3:8), and who is continuously referred to in the books of the
Hebrew Bible and New Testament, as well as the Quran. Further
developing ideas presented by the late Fred Sommers in his seminal
The Logic of Natural Language, Buckner argues that singular
reference and singular conception is empty outside such a context.
