A theology informed by cognitive linguistics can combine Barbour's critical realism with Lakoff and Johnson's embodied realism. Perhaps such a theological perspective might be called sacramental realism. Here I use the word "sacramental" in the broad sense...to what the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer calls "countless ways by which God uses material things to reach out to us." (50)

If the findings of cognitive linguistics can be summed up in one sentence, it may be this: We think with our bodies. The most fundamental processes of human perception and cognition are grounded in the particularity of our physicality. There is no such thing as mind-body dualism: the mind is embodied. (21)
