Document Summary
Lucas lamadrid on the anonymous and analogous christian. In lucas lamadrid"s paper anonymous or analogous christians he discusses the role that grace and salvation plays in the life of christians and non-christians. For rahner, language is an inadequate method of fully expressing experience of god. Due to the deficiency of religious language and theological conceptualizations, all must be referred back to the experience it aims to discuss. Lamadrid thus states that language is tied essentially to its referent the experience of the self in relation to rhaner. The problem with this thematization is that since language is lacking in its capabilities, the experience that is trying to be expressed is not as effective as its original presence. Lamadrid quotes rahner from his publication foundations of christian faith which states; All talk about it [knowledge of god], which necessarily goes on, always points to [ein. This quote clearly illustrates the struggle of language to articulate christian experience.
