be careful. I just finished reading Jacques Derrida in french and one think I have learned is that you can't take what they say at face value. The text means nothing even to the author. The key problem to this book's argument is that truth may be absolute but it not clear. The Biblical worldview is that while we live in a fallen world, God still communicated through language. God did not pre-fall (in my opinion because the faculities were radically corrupted by the fall so I base this on logic and not scripture, but the logic is from the scriptue). Language, though not perfect, has levels of clarity that God deemed sufficient to give his revelation by. Not perfect but sufficient. I like the comparison is a Car with broken windows, rusty, and a broken headlight. Ugly, can be dangerous if used incorrectly (ie bad hermeuntics/exegesis) but it can get you from A to B. Even a junky car does the job, and in our fallen state that is what God uses to communicate his precious truth to us. This just shows the love of God that He would condescend to use the foolishness of language to communicate His Word (or as Derrida would say La Parole).
