Living the Death of God

Exploring the interplay between language and the divine, this study delves into Edmond Jabès's reflections on the aftermath of the Shoah and the role of the poet in confronting the death of God. It examines his tetralogy from 1982 to 1987, highlighting the symbolic power of language as a bridge between the finite and the Infinite. Jabès's work articulates the experience of exile through a tapestry of signs, ultimately proposing a theology that transcends post-modernism by reintroducing time and negation into the concept of the divine.
