O vínculo entre a literatura e a teologia é a palavra. E toda palavra é criadora, pois somente uma é a Palavra e toda palavra deriva dela. Quando Deus fala ao homem, faz do homem seu interlocutor final; e para o homem que a palavra se manifestou no mundo e e no homem que ela ganha simbolo. A palavra do homem e potencia da Palavra de Deus. Mesmo quando um livro no fala do nome de Deus ou no se ocupa em falar de coisas sagradas, ainda assim diz "Deus", pois, na palavra, o homem sempre cria, e o criar pela palavra e preeminencia de Deus, primeiro criador que criou do verbo. Estas palavras do homem so sempre um falar do mundo humano para poder expressa-lo fora-de-si para um outro-de-si. Interlocutor primeiro da literatura e o homem, mas Deus nunca deixara de ser o interlocutor ultimo de toda prosa e verso.
