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.
