Compare Divine Discourse by Nicholas Wolterstorff, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The canonical texts and traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam claim that God speaks, but philosophers usually mistakenly treat such speech as revelation. Wolterstorff argues that contemporary speech-action theory offers a fascinating approach to the claim. He develops an innovative theory of interpretation along the way opposing the current near-consensus of Ricoeur and Derrida that there is something wrong-headed about interpreting a text to find out what its author said. | Divine Discourse by Nicholas Wolterstorff, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
