Uncover how language shapes our reading of scripture and why humility matters in interpretation.
This edition gathers Jowett’s reflections on how theology and philosophy meet through language. It shows why the words we use can change what we think about God, life, and truth. The pages invite readers to consider how ideas develop over time, and how our questions influence the way we approach ancient texts.
