The question this book aims to address is: how do we take on board
post-modern insights regarding the relationship between language
and world without losing our grip on theological truth? Employing
the linguistic philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein as 'philosophical
hand-maid' (as opposed to 'metaphysical gate-keeper', which has
tended to be the case), it subjects to critique both traditional
realist and post-modern constructivist perspectives as it examines
how the nature and role of metaphor-making at the creative edge of
language casts light on the God-language-world relationship. It
concludes that a Wittgensteinian understanding of the relationship
between language and world is not only compatible with a
'theistic-realist' doctrine of God but that the shape of this
doctrine is inescapably Trinitarian.
