This book cuts new ground in bringing together traditional Christian theological perspectives on truth and reality with a contemporary philosophical view of the place of language in both divine and wordly reality.

This model affirms that worldly reality has a radical dependence on God. Finally, the book explores the theological and ethical implications of
