"Each of Vern Poythress's books has been, in my judgment, the best book on its particular subject. Poythress does not merely claim that these disciplines allow a place for God, or that a theistic worldview provides useful context, or that engagement in such studies is somehow useful to Christians. Rather, he comes right in your face with the claims of Christ: God is not merely a possibility, not merely a conclusion, but the starting point for any understanding at all. The present book on language is a great help to those troubled by contemporary challenges to the very possibility of meaningful communication."
