Description: "God-talk" occupies a central position in our theological forum today. Gustaf Aulén turns to the problems raised by modern attempts to talk about God and offers a new perspective on the concerns expressed in such books as Honest to God. Because God reveals himself primarily through symbols, Aulén says, symbolic language is the mother tongue of faith. In The Drama and the Symbols, the author focuses on the central Christian image of God and the language used to express it.
Notes: Translation of Dramat och symbolerna.
