Description
What are words? What do they do? What do they mean? In contrast to the often stated "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me", Colin Gunton maintains that words are powerful. This is drawn out as Gunton explores how the Biblical doctrines of Creation and Divine Revelation challenge both the Rationalist and Postmodern understandings of language.
