    Narrated by Michael Page ...

    by James K. A. Smith ...
    Narrated by Michael Page ...

    Unabridged

    6 hours 11 min

    Many Christians are disconnected from the past or imagine they are "above" history, immune to it, as if self-starters from clean slates in every generation.

A. Smith shows that ... Read more

  • The Nicene Option

    An Incarnational Phenomenology

    by James K. A. Smith ...
    Christian philosophy and philosophy of religion tend to be dominated by analytic approaches, which have brought a valuable logical rigor to the discussion of matters of belief.

  • Speech and Theology

    Language and the Logic of Incarnation

    by James K.A. Smith ...
    Series series Routledge Radical Orthodoxy
    God is infinite, but language finite; thus speech would seem to condemn Him to finitude. In speaking of God, would the theologian violate divine transcendence by reducing God to immanence, or choose, rather, to remain silent? At stake in this argument is a core problem of the conditions of divine revelation. How, in terms of language and the limitations of human understanding, can transcendence ... Read more
