God is infinite, but language finite; thus speech would seem to
condemn Him to finitude. In speaking of God, would the theologian
violate divine transcendence by reducing God to immanence, or
choose, rather, to remain silent? At stake in this argument is a
core problem of the conditions of divine revelation. How, in terms
of language and the limitations of human understanding, can
transcendence ever be made known? Does its very appearance not
undermine its transcendence, its condition of unknowability? Speech
and Theology posits that the paradigm for the encounter between the
material and the divine, or the immanent and transcendent, is found
in the Incarnation: God's voluntary self-immersion in the human
world as an expression of His love for His creation. By this key
act of grace, hinged upon Christs condescension to human finitude,
philosophy acquires the means not simply to speak of perfection,
which is to speak theologically, but to bridge the gap between word
and thing in general sense.
