More about the book

The book addresses the complexities of theological language through the lenses of analytical philosophy and existentialism, focusing on the relationship between humanity and God. Macquarrie engages with biblical criticism and neo-Protestant theology, using Saint Athanasius's work on the Incarnation to argue that Christianity involves empirical judgments. He emphasizes the unique nature of religious language, which often employs myth, symbol, and analogy, and critiques the limitations of existentialist interpretations. While it doesn't provide definitive solutions, it offers a thought-provoking approach to theological discourse.
