Anthropomorphism and God
Without this similarity between the human process which we call “speech” and “word”, and the divine process which we describe in these terms, we cannot speak of God at all. The Bible speaks of God so simply and “anthropomorphically”, and not in an abstract manner, so personally and not impersonally, because God reveals Himself to us in the Scriptures as Person, and because at the same time He reveals man as having been created in His Image.—Emil Brunner, The Christian Doctrine of Creation and Redemption, 44
