Exploring the concept of the Incarnation, this book delves into the interplay between language and the divine. John T. Hamilton presents philology as a form of love for words, examining how language transcends mere information, emphasizing its corporeal nature. Through a range of intellectual episodes, from Renaissance Humanism to modern poetry, he highlights the connection between form and content, urging a reevaluation of our engagement with language. This work invites readers to consider the deeper implications of how we understand and interact with words.
