Week 7--Monday Class Reflection

If Saussure is right about things deriving meaning from their difference from other things, do we as Christians understand ourselves by certain things we are not? It’s interesting that our whole understanding of holiness is defined in terms of what it is not. It is being free from impurities. Similarly, since he is transcendent, much of understanding of who God is depends on understanding what he is not.

good connections - difference is an important (but sometimes overly important) way in which we draw boundaries.
