8 Mk PEQs + Model Answers Unit 4.1 Analogy + Symbol -E

1 Explore how knowledge about God may be gained by what God is not like in the via negativa  (8)

The via negativa, also known as the "negative way" or "apophatic theology," is a method of understanding God through a process of negation or elimination of characteristics that God is not. This approach is rooted in the idea that God is beyond human comprehension and cannot be fully known or understood through positive attributes or descriptions. Instead, knowledge about God is gained by understanding what God is not.

One of the most prominent figures associated with the via negativa is the medieval mystic and theologian, Meister Eckhart. Eckhart believed that the only way to truly know God is through a process of detachment from the material world and a turning away from all created things. He stated, "The more we let go of created things, the more we possess God."

Another key figure in the via negativa is the 14th-century mystic, Julian of Norwich. In her work "Revelations of Divine Love," she wrote, "I saw no thing that I can say is God, but I saw that God is all things." This statement encapsulates the via negativa approach, as Julian is saying that God cannot be found in any specific thing, but rather is present in all things.

The via negativa has also been influential in Eastern Orthodox Christianity. The Eastern Orthodox Church teaches that God is beyond human understanding and cannot be comprehended through human reason or experience. Instead, knowledge of God is gained through a process of purification and enlightenment, where the individual turns away from the material world and towards the spiritual.

Critics of the via negativa argue that it can lead to a lack of understanding and practical application of religious principles. Additionally, some argue that it can lead to a sense of detachment from the material world and a neglect of the ethical responsibilities that come with being a religious believer.

Despite these criticisms, the via negativa remains an important method of understanding God and has been influential in the development of Christian mysticism and contemplative prayer. As Meister Eckhart wrote, "The highest point of humility is when a man forgets himself entirely." This idea of forgetting oneself in order to know God is at the heart of the via negativa approach.

1 Explore univocal language and problems of anthropomorphism (8)

Univocal language refers to the use of language in which a word or phrase has a single, clear meaning. Anthropomorphism, on the other hand, is the attribution of human characteristics, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities, such as animals, gods, or inanimate objects. In religious discourse, the use of univocal language and the avoidance of anthropomorphism can be seen as important in order to accurately convey the nature of the divine.

One of the key figures associated with univocal language in religious discourse is the medieval philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas. In his "Summa Theologiae," Aquinas argued that when speaking of God, the use of univocal language is necessary in order to avoid equivocation and confusion. He wrote, "It is necessary to use many names and many ways of speaking about God, but all in a way that is not univocal."

The use of anthropomorphic language in religious discourse, on the other hand, has been criticized for its potential to mislead and misrepresent the nature of the divine. The ancient Greek philosopher Xenophanes, for example, criticized the anthropomorphic gods of his time and argued that "if oxen and horses or lions had hands and could paint with their hands, horses would paint the forms of gods like horses, and oxen like oxen."

In contemporary theology, the problem of anthropomorphism has been addressed by process theology, which emphasizes the idea that God is in a process of becoming and is not a fixed being. In process theology, God is not seen as a person or a being with human characteristics, but rather as a force or power that is always in a state of change.

In addition to the problem of anthropomorphism, there are also concerns that univocal language can be limiting and fail to capture the complexity of religious experiences or the nature of the divine. Some theologians argue that religious language should be seen as symbolic or metaphorical, rather than literal. As the philosopher Paul Ricoeur wrote, "The symbolic dimension of language is not an obstacle to knowledge but rather the condition of its possibility."

In conclusion, while the use of univocal language can help to avoid confusion and equivocation in religious discourse, it is important to also consider the limitations of this approach. Additionally, the problem of anthropomorphism highlights the need to be cautious when attributing human characteristics to the divine, and emphasizes the importance of understanding the nature of the divine through a process of negation or elimination of attributes that God is not.

1 Explore equivocal language and problems of attribution and the significance of proportional similarities and dissimilarities in religious language. (8)

Equivocal language refers to words or phrases that have multiple meanings or interpretations, and this can be a problem in religious language when trying to understand the nature of God or other divine beings. One issue with equivocal language is the problem of attribution, where attributes or characteristics are ascribed to God that may not be accurate or appropriate.

For example, the Bible describes God as "jealous" and "angry" but these terms, when applied to human beings, may have negative connotations and could lead to a misunderstanding of God's nature. Therefore, it is important to understand that when these terms are used in reference to God, they must be understood in a way that is proportionate to God's nature and not just human emotions.

Proportional similarity and dissimilarity can play a significant role in understanding religious language and the nature of God. The via negativa, or "negative way," is a concept in theology that emphasizes that God cannot be fully understood or known by describing what God is like, but rather by describing what God is not like. St. Dionysius the Areopagite, a Christian mystic and theologian, wrote in his work, "The Divine Names," that "whatever we say of God must be understood as a negation." This means that we can only understand God by understanding what God is not.

Proportional dissimilarity is the idea that God is so different from human beings and the natural world that any comparison or analogy is limited and inadequate. Proportional similarity, on the other hand, is the idea that there are similarities between God and human beings or the natural world, but these similarities must be understood in a way that is proportionate to God's nature.

In conclusion, equivocal language in religious discourse can be a problem when trying to understand the nature of God, as it can lead to misunderstandings and inaccurate attributions. The concept of proportional similarity and dissimilarity can help to understand religious language and the nature of God by emphasizing that any comparison or analogy is limited and inadequate and that God is so different from human beings and the natural world.

1 Explore the key features of Analogy as Aquinas theory of religious language. (8)

Analogy is a theory of religious language developed by Thomas Aquinas, a 13th century philosopher and theologian. According to Aquinas, analogy refers to the relationship between human language and God's language, and how the latter can be understood through the former. Aquinas believed that God cannot be fully comprehended by human beings, and thus our understanding of God is limited to what can be grasped through analogy.

One key feature of Aquinas' theory of analogy is the distinction between univocal, equivocal and analogical terms. Univocal terms refer to words or concepts that have the same meaning in both human and divine language, whereas equivocal terms refer to words or concepts that have different meanings in human and divine language. Analogical terms, on the other hand, refer to words or concepts that have a proportionate similarity to both human and divine language.

An important aspect of Aquinas' theory of analogy is the idea of proportionate similarity, which refers to the idea that human language can be used to describe God but only in a proportionate way. For example, the word "good" can be used to describe God, but it is not identical to the way it is used to describe things in the world. This is because God's goodness is infinitely greater than any goodness found in the created world.

Another key feature of Aquinas' theory of analogy is the concept of attribution, which refers to the idea that certain attributes or qualities can be attributed to God, but only in a limited and proportionate way. For example, the attribute of "omnipotence" can be attributed to God, but it is not identical to the way it is used to describe the power of human beings.

Aquinas' theory of analogy has been influential in the history of philosophy and theology. It has been considered as a way of overcoming the limitations of univocal and equivocal language in religious discourse. It can also be seen as a way of avoiding the problem of anthropomorphism, which is the tendency to attribute human characteristics or qualities to God.

1 Explore the contribution of symbol to debates about religious language. (8) 2022 Exam Q

The use of symbols in religious language has been a topic of debate for centuries. Some argue that symbols are an essential aspect of religious language, allowing for a deeper understanding and connection to the divine. Others argue that symbols are ultimately unimportant or even misleading.

One key feature of symbols in religious language is their ability to point beyond themselves to a deeper reality. This is known as the "symbol's excess" or "surplus of meaning" and is often cited in discussions of religious symbols. For example, the symbol of the cross in Christianity is not simply a physical object, but rather represents the sacrifice of Jesus and the redemption of humanity.

Symbols also allow for a multilayered understanding of religious concepts. They can convey different meanings to different people, depending on their cultural and personal backgrounds. For example, the symbol of the mandala in Buddhism can have different meanings depending on the person interpreting it, such as representing the universe or the path to enlightenment.

However, symbols can also be a source of confusion and misinterpretation. Critics argue that symbols can be easily misconstrued or misinterpreted, leading to misunderstandings or even manipulation of religious teachings. Furthermore, symbols can also be used to obscure or cover up the true meaning of religious concepts.

In conclusion, symbols play an important role in religious language, as they allow for a deeper understanding and connection to the divine, but also have the potential to lead to confusion and misinterpretation.

1 Explore types of symbol across a range of religious traditions. (8)

Symbols play a significant role in religious traditions and are often used to convey the deeper meaning and concepts of the faith. Different religious traditions use different types of symbols, each with their own specific significance and meaning.

One type of symbol commonly found in religious traditions is the use of natural symbols, such as the sun and moon in ancient Egyptian religion or the tree in Norse mythology. These natural symbols often represent the divine and are used to convey the relationship between humanity and the divine. For example, the sun in ancient Egyptian religion represented the god Ra, who was seen as the creator and sustainer of life.

Another type of symbol commonly used in religious traditions is the use of geometric shapes and patterns, such as the mandala in Buddhism or the labyrinth in Christianity. These symbols are used to represent the path to enlightenment or the journey to God. For example, the mandala in Buddhism is a symbol of the universe and the path to enlightenment, while the labyrinth in Christianity is a symbol of the journey of the soul towards God.

Another type of symbol is the use of animals, such as the lion in Christianity and the cow in Hinduism. These symbols are often associated with the divine or are seen as sacred and are used to represent specific aspects of the religion. For example, the lion in Christianity is often used to represent strength, courage and the power of God, while the cow in Hinduism is a symbol of motherly love, nurturing and abundance.

Finally, symbols can also be found in religious texts, such as the cross in Christianity, the Star of David in Judaism, and the crescent and star in Islam. These symbols are often used to represent the faith itself and are used to identify those who follow the religion.

In conclusion, symbols play a vital role in religious traditions and are used to convey the deeper meaning and concepts of the faith. Different religious traditions use different types of symbols, each with their own specific significance and meaning.

1 Explore the distinction between signs and symbols, symbols identifying and participating in a concept. (8)

The distinction between signs and symbols is an important one in understanding religious language. A sign is a representation of something else, while a symbol is something that participates in the reality it represents. In other words, a sign points to something else, while a symbol is an embodiment of that thing. This distinction is important in religious language because it helps to understand how religious language can be both representative and participatory.

For example, a crucifix is a sign of the crucifixion of Jesus, but it is also a symbol of the salvation that this event represents. Similarly, a prayer is a sign of our devotion, but it is also a symbol of the connection we have with God.

In religious traditions, symbols play a significant role, they are often used as a way to connect with the divine. For example, in Christianity, the cross is a symbol of Jesus' sacrifice and redemption. In Hinduism, the Om symbol is a representation of the divine and the ultimate reality. In Buddhism, the Dharmacakra or the wheel of law is a symbol of the Buddha's teachings and the path to enlightenment.

This use of symbols allows for a deeper understanding of religious concepts and beliefs. It also allows for a more personal and experiential connection with the divine. For example, many people find that meditation on a symbol such as the Om allows for a deeper understanding of the ultimate reality.

In conclusion, religious symbols play an important role in religious language. They serve as both a representation and a participation in the divine. Through the use of symbols, religious traditions offer a way to connect with the divine on a deeper level and to understand religious concepts and beliefs in a more personal and experiential way.

Paul Tillich, a 20th-century Protestant theologian, developed a theory of religious language that emphasizes the importance of symbols in religious discourse. According to Tillich, symbols are not simply arbitrary signs, but rather they participate in and reveal the ultimate reality, which he calls the "ground of being." In his book "Dynamics of Faith," Tillich writes, "A symbol participates in that which it symbolizes. It has the same structure as the reality to which it points."

Tillich's theory of religious symbols emphasizes their ability to transcend the limitations of conceptual language and point to the ultimate reality. He argues that symbols are not just representatives of concepts, but they reveal the ultimate reality in a way that concepts cannot. In "Dynamics of Faith," he writes, "The symbol is not a logical substitute for a concept. It is a way of pointing beyond the concept to that which cannot be grasped by concepts."

Tillich also emphasizes the importance of personal encounter and participation in the symbol for it to reveal the ultimate reality. He writes in "Theology of Culture," "The symbol does not merely point to the ultimate reality but participates in it, and it is through this participation that the individual has an encounter with the ultimate reality."

In addition, Tillich's theory of religious symbols also emphasizes their dynamic and transformative nature. He argues that symbols are not fixed and unchanging, but they are always evolving and adapting to the needs of the individual and the culture. In "Theology of Culture," he writes, "The symbol is not a static object but a dynamic event, always adapting to the changing situation of the individual and the culture."

Tillich's theory of religious symbols has had a significant impact on theology and religious studies, particularly in the field of theology of culture. It offers a unique perspective on the relationship between religious language and ultimate reality, emphasizing the importance of symbols in religious discourse, the transcendent and dynamic nature of symbols and the personal encounter and participation with symbols.

1 Explore the problems of interpreting symbols and their limited application to a particular faith context. 

Paul Tillich, a prominent 20th century theologian, developed a theory of religious language that emphasized the use of symbols as a way to express the ultimate reality or "ground of being." According to Tillich, symbols are not simply signs or representations of something else, but rather they "participate" in the reality they represent. In other words, symbols are not just pointing to something else, but they are a means of encountering the ultimate reality itself.

However, one of the key problems with interpreting symbols is that their meaning can be highly dependent on the context and tradition within which they are used. For example, a symbol like a cross may hold vastly different meanings for a Christian and a non-Christian. Furthermore, symbols can be highly ambiguous and open to multiple interpretations.

Another problem with interpreting symbols is that they are often limited in their application to a particular faith context. For example, symbols and rituals that are meaningful to one religious tradition may be completely meaningless to another. As such, symbols can be highly dependent on the cultural and historical context in which they are used.

Moreover, symbols can be highly personal and subjective, meaning that different individuals may have different interpretations of the same symbol. This can make it difficult to use symbols as a means of communicating religious ideas to others.

Despite these problems, Tillich believed that symbols are an essential aspect of religious language. They provide a way to express the inexpressible and to connect with the ultimate reality. He wrote, "The symbol points beyond itself to that which it symbolizes and at the same time it participates in it" (Theology of Culture, 1959).

In conclusion, while symbols can be problematic in their interpretation and application, they are an important aspect of religious language. They provide a way to express the inexpressible, connect with ultimate reality and transcend the limitations of human language. However, it is important to be aware of the potential limitations of symbols and to approach them with a degree of humility and openness to multiple interpretations.


1 Explore the key features of Tillch's use of symbol in his theory of religious language. (8)

Paul Tillich, a German-American theologian and philosopher, developed a unique approach to religious language in his theology. He believed that religious language was symbolic in nature, and that symbols were necessary for expressing ultimate reality or the "ground of being." According to Tillich, symbols point beyond themselves to something transcendent and ultimate, and they are able to communicate this transcendent reality through a process he called "positive negation."

One key feature of Tillich's theory of religious language is his emphasis on the symbolic nature of language. He believed that religious language cannot be literal, as ultimate reality cannot be fully grasped by human reason or language. Instead, religious language must be symbolic, as symbols are able to point beyond themselves to something transcendent.

Another key feature of Tillich's theory is his emphasis on the dynamic nature of symbols. He believed that symbols change and evolve over time, and that the meaning of a symbol may change depending on the context in which it is used. This dynamic nature of symbols allows for a deeper understanding of ultimate reality.

Tillich also believed that symbols have the power to evoke an "ontological shock," or a sense of encounter with ultimate reality. This is achieved through the process of "positive negation," where symbols negate or transcend the finite and limited aspects of human experience in order to reveal the infinite and ultimate.

Tillich's use of symbols in his theory of religious language has been influential in theology and religious studies. However, it has also been criticized for being overly subjective and for failing to provide a clear and consistent understanding of ultimate reality. Additionally, the problems of interpreting symbols and their limited application to a particular faith context, as symbols may have different meanings in different faith contexts.

1 Explore symbols identifying and participating in a concept in Tillich's as theory of religious language. (8)

Paul Tillich, a 20th century theologian and philosopher, developed a theory of religious language that emphasizes the importance of symbols in religious discourse. According to Tillich, symbols are not simply representations of a concept, but they actually participate in and reveal the ultimate reality or "the Ground of Being." He believed that symbols have the power to express the inexpressible and to connect us to the transcendent.

Tillich's theory of religious symbols is grounded in his understanding of ontology, or the study of being. He argued that symbols are not simply descriptions of God or ultimate reality, but rather they are participation in it. He believed that symbols are "condensations" of meaning that reveal the ultimate reality through their participation in it.

One key feature of Tillich's theory of symbols is that they are not limited to a particular faith context. He believed that symbols from different religious traditions can have the same ontological significance and reveal the same ultimate reality. For example, the symbol of the cross in Christianity, the symbol of the Star of David in Judaism, and the symbol of the crescent moon in Islam, can all reveal the same ultimate reality in different ways.

Another key feature of Tillich's theory of symbols is that they are open-ended and have the ability to reveal new meanings over time. He believed that symbols are not fixed or static, but are constantly evolving and being reinterpreted in new contexts.

However, Tillich's theory of symbols also has limitations. One problem is that symbols can be interpreted in different ways, leading to confusion and disagreement. Another problem is that symbols may be limited in their ability to express certain aspects of ultimate reality. Additionally, some argue that the theory may not have a clear enough criteria to evaluate the authenticity of religious symbols.

In summary, Tillich's theory of religious language emphasizes the importance of symbols in connecting us to the ultimate reality or "the Ground of Being." He believed that symbols are not simply descriptions of God or ultimate reality, but they actually participate in and reveal it. Symbols are not limited to a particular faith context and have the ability to reveal new meanings over time. However, the theory also has limitations, such as the problem of interpretation and the lack of clear criteria for authenticity.
