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.
