The Fragility of Language and the Encounter with God

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of language, perception, and theology, this book examines how the contingency of language influences humanity's encounter with God. Klug integrates contemporary philosophical insights, particularly from Zizek and Badiou, to argue that the subjective experience of the divine is transformed into language within a communal context. It questions the authority of the speaking subject in articulating truths about the Absolute and probes the role of the Christian faithful in assessing this authority, enriching the discussion of doctrinal development.
