Is it still possible today to talk about God as a person? And if so, what does it mean? Christian Polke shows that a theological answer to these questions must address the contexts of these ways of talking. This will make it understandable that human beings as creatures who express themselves in symbols develop their religious understanding of the world and of themselves mainly in ritual and narrative practices.
