Shifting the focus away from the potential and failure of words to say something about God, the book suggests that the purpose of God-language is to transform human beings in their relationship with God. Augustine's doctrine of predestination is read, with the help of speech-act theory and the study of indexicals, for its power to effect redemptive change; and his \u003ci\u003eDe doctrina christiana\u003c\/i\u003e is drawn upon for its semiotics. Together they make way for the hypothesis that God-language transforms human beings into better signs of God.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890832818327,"sku":"9789004257719","price":20379.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004257719.webp?v=1781181514","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-new-apophaticism-augustine-and-the-redemption-of-signs-9789004257719","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
