Week 7- Response to Brett Yee's Blog

I think you have hit on a key point Brett. While I can not travel all the way down the post-structuralist, anti-foundationalist, anti-representationalist route, I do agree in large part that the language we use does not correspond to objective reality in any one-to-one manner. That is, our language is a socially agreed upon construct that is valid only among those who are in the in-group. I think that this fact holds promise for our work in theology, because we can always fine tune our doctrinal statements and understandings of God while always being humble in that we are not there yet.
