The Doctrine of God: Understanding Analogical Language in Theology

In this enlightening lecture from the Doctrine of God class, Dr. Jeffrey Johnson dives deep into the concept of analogical language in theology. How do finite creatures comprehend and articulate the infinite nature of God? Dr. Johnson explores the tension between divine transcendence and human understanding, addressing key questions: Can we know God as He knows Himself?

Drawing from scripture, historical theology, and philosophical perspectives, Dr. Johnson provides a thought-provoking discussion on the creator-creature distinction, the limitations of human language, and the profound mystery of knowing God. Perfect for theology students, pastors, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of how we relate to and describe the Almighty.
