ABSTRACT
How are we to ‘make sense’ of talk about God? The question as thus formulated supposes that, in some way, this talk is not self-evident. But of course in many contexts ‘God’ is self-evident, in that many users of the discourse in which this or a cognate term occurs find the term unproblematic. Those who move within a religious discourse as ‘fish in water’ find nothing especially odd about using this term in accordance with the conventions of the culture or sub-culture within which they live and speak.
