What are the three modes of understanding the religious language? Explain

THREE TRADITIONAL WAYS

In the medieval period we see these clearest expressions. In the thirteenth century, Thomas Aquinas  argued that religious language is  analogical, that is, it conveys truth but not literal truth. In the same century, John Duns Scotus contended that Thomas’s view
was incoherent. Duns Scotus emphasized that only two options are possible, univocal and equivocal language. For example, the word ‘bat’ can mean two different things, a baseball bat or a fling mammal. If we do not know to which it refers, the use is equivocal. If we do know to
which it refers, it is literally, or univocally, one or the other. No other option exists. Nobody thought seriously the alternative of equivocal language. They assumed that since religious language , particularly Scripture, is in fact meaningful, it must be either univocal or analogical.
They forgot the fact that religious language is noncognitive. This view is held by the majority in the eastern thought. More specifically, all words must be denied or negated in order to understand Ultimate Reality truly, hence this option is often designed as ‘negative way’This view was held by German mystic Meister Eckhart and by the great Jewish Philosopher, Moses Maimonides.
