"Theology comes in answer to the call that issues from the event harbored in the name of God, as a way to hear it, heed it, and hearken to it; to pray over it; and to set the music of this event to words. Theology tries to follow the tracks of the name of God, to stay on the trail it leaves behind as it makes its way through our lives. The name of God, it should be insisted, is not a term of art, a technical or lifeless word coined by philosophers for their speculative purposes, but it is a word forged in the fires of life, in the joys and sorrows of ordinary life, a word we invoke on the most casual as on the most solemn occasions, signaling something familiar, even commonplace, yet bottomless, always on the tip of our tongues, yet incomprehensible."
