Abstract

This paper intends to show what the nature of human language and what its relation-ship to reality and to concepts should be if language can be the instrument through which God expresses the Revelation of truths which transcend history. It shows that the philosophic-hermeneutical conception of language, reality and knowledge excludes the very possibility of expressing linguistically any truths which transcend history and are understood in the same way by persons which belong to different traditions. It just points at the way through which its conclusions could be applied to biblical theology.
