Text and Faith: a discourse on God is a discourse that inevitably only completes itself again “in a new silence”.

And so, if the discourse is to continue – which is un-avoidable, and moreover, necessary – and the “new silence” is not or has not yet been achieved, this means one has to try to explore various other already existing contemplations on God and faith. Even though I do not belong to the camp of those who accept Heidegger’s “the God of the philoso-phers”, I think philosophy is necessary to be employed here.
