Words and images : a study in theological discourse

Nonsense to debate whether God exists or even whether a sure answer to this is possible: for the questions themselves are literally non-sense, have no meaning whatever - so say a number of influential contemporary thinkers. And it is a new challenge, far more radical than those of plain atheism or agnosticism which for centuries have been met and answered by Christian apologists. This new line of attack has been welcomed by Christian philosophers for the stimulus it has given them to examine more closely than the before the status and nature of their utterances. Himself deeply engaged in the thick of this modern controversy, Dr. Mascall here pursues it further and in addition assesses some of the results stemming from it. He marshals the sometimes complex arguments of each size with such clarity that the non-specialist reader with a taste for philosophical discussion will rejoice in being able to grasp them, just as he will be delighted by the author's flashes of very pointed humour at the expense of his opponents. No one who wishes to keep abreast of these recent philosophical developments will want to miss this most readable contribution to them.
