Transformation -- part two. Signification -- part 3. Transforming signs.In A New Apophaticism Susannah Ticciati draws on Augustine to develop an apophatic theology for the twenty-first century. Shifting the focus away from the potential and failure of words to say something about God, the book suggests that the purpose of God-language is to transform human beings in their relationship with God. Augustine's doctrine of predestination is read, with the help of speech-act theory and the study of indexicals, for its power to effect redemptive change; and his De doctrina christiana is drawn upon for its semiotics. Together they make way for the hypothesis that God-language transforms human beings into better signs of God.Studies in systematic theology ;v. 14.Negative theologyChristianityHistory of doctrinesNegative theologyChristianityHistory of doctrines.230/.14092Ticciati Susannah1595307MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808364903321A new apophaticism3916183UNINA
