The Characteristics of Religious Language and Speech Act Theory Anna Cho

This book examines the characteristics of religious language through insight into the speech act theory (SAT). SAT is the study of the relationship between language and language users, and studies the meaning, use, and effect of language. Thus, examining religious language through the SAT gives us a re-examination of biblical interpretive insights, doctrines, and Christian life. This book also explores the interpretive part of the Bible on how to interpret the text of the Bible and understand the nature of the religious language, and the practical part of Christian ethics in how Christians should live. This allows us to explain the ethics of God's kingdom and the presence of God in the lives of believers who are alive today. It also explains how God's revelation becomes real in the lives of believers and how the lives of believers are transformed and recreated.
