How
can the language of creation adequately reveal God if the God of creation
transcends creation? This perennial question has most often been approached
within an analogical view of language which presupposes an ontotheological view
of the God/world relationship. Attentive to the influence of the Great Chain of
Being on this view of (language for) the divine, we shall also examine whether
there has ever been a viable alternative. Is it possible to see transcendence
and immanence not as attributes of God and creation, respectively, but as facets
of creation and thus creational revelation?
