Anthropomorphic language has provided a conundrum for exegetes and theologians for millennia. Attempting to use human language to describe the divine presents ontological and epistemological problems that push our speech to the breaking point. In this new work, Howell shows that instances of divine action should not automatically be reduced simply to theological categories such as omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, immutability, etc., nor to criteria such as personhood, life, and approachability. Rather, he introduced readers to two unique approaches to ""anthropomorphic expressions"" Master record variable field(s) change: 072 Bible Criticism, interpretation, etc. Bible. fast (OCoLC)fst01356024 Anthropomorphism Terminology.
