Theology of language

Theology of language explores how words and speech relate to understanding divine realities, meaning, and communication with God. It considers how language shapes religious beliefs, such as the ways scripture conveys truth and the use of metaphor or symbolism. This field examines whether language can fully express divine mysteries or if some aspects are beyond words, emphasizing both the power and limitations of human language in expressing sacred truths. Essentially, it studies how language functions in religious contexts to deepen faith, reveal divine nature, and facilitate spiritual connection.
