Unprodigal son
By Peter Leithart
Every word we speak, Derrida argues, wanders off on its own, and we can’t protect or control it.
True enough with regard to human words.  But God’s Word is a living Person, the eternal Son, a Word equal to the speaker with the resources to fend for Himself.  This Word, though sent to a far country, never wanders from His Father.
