God’s Talk as Supernatural Harmony: a Dialogue Between David Tracy and Simone Weil

ABSTRACT

This article proposes a dialogue on God’s talk, between the North American theologian, David Tracy, and the French philosopher, Simone Weil. The emphasis will be on the Trinitarian assertion, present in the mediations between a) God and God, which discloses the intratrinitarian mediation; b) between both Creator and creature, which discloses the mediation between God, the creation and the human being; and finally, c) between human beings, which necessarily passes through Passion and Redemption. After a brief introduction, it will first present both authors and their respective perspectives on God’s Trinitarian talk. It will then continue with the dialogue between them. Finally, it will conclude that the friendship God establishes with human beings reflects the Trinitarian relationship in which God, through the cross and the power of the Spirit, reveals himself by loving and rescuing human beings and the creation by means of a supernatural harmony.
