Spirit, Speech and Language: Elements of a Philosophical Pneumatology
Issue: Vol 10 No. 1 (2011)
Journal: PentecoStudies
Subject Areas: Religious Studies
Abstract:
The following is a work of philosophical pneumatology that posits the Spirit as the precondition for human speech. Because God created with the Word and Spirit-Breath, all things are infused with the presence of the Spirit as language. The essential linguisticality of human existence signals a deep
presence of the Spirit in all things. This helps theology to reconfigure transcendence as immanentally expressed in a Spirited incarnation in language and speech.
