| Summary: | By placing divine speech acts at the center of philosophical theology in Divine discourse: Philosophical reflections on the claim that God speaks, Nick Wolterstorff joins in the task of overcoming onto-theology and calling theology, including philosophical theology, back from Athens to its home in Jerusalem. His creative accounts of indirect discourse illumine ways in which God can be said to speak through the Bible. There are important but undeveloped political implications to the notion that God is a member of the speech community to which we also belong. |
