ABSTRACT
Thus far we have examined various forms of God-talk phrases within their pastoral contexts. We have noted that this phenomenon has a language, perhaps even a vocabulary, of its own and that it must be understood within its own particular personal context. We have also seen that using the category of myth helps us to understand Godtalk and that theology has steered away from this category rather than embrace it as viable religious language. Imagination, as witnessed in various literary genres, is key to understanding myth, and, thus, Godtalk in its various genres as well. With this in mind, it is now time to explore the irrational language of myth that, I believe, is the very basis for God-talk.
