God’s Speech
God’s speech is special; it is creative; it defines his relationship to his creation; it defines who his creatures are; it establishes the nature of his special relationship with peoples and individuals; it is the instrument by which he exercises and withdraws his power; and it is perhaps the most significant mode of his presence.
