"Naming" violates the unspoken attitude inherent in postmodern culture: the anonymity of God, the namelessness of His manifestations in the world. The search for the personal name of God, captured everywhere, organically connects all three, so dissimilar sections of the book: "Names," "Steps," "Faces." A cross-cutting motive that connects all the variety of themes and plots among themselves can be called the "key to communication." The author develops in his own way the gospel theme of calling for communication (koinonia), whether it is about the experience of the soul involved in the sacrament of the "exchange of blessings," or about themes inherent in the "spirit of the times," or about bringing memory to departed friends whose faces the reader feels like alive.
