BorgLanguage: EnglishSubtitle: Recovering The Lost Meaning Of Christian WordsISBN-10: 028106508XDescription: As with French, German or Spanish, learning the basic vocabulary of Christianity is a vital first step in understanding what it means and how it works. We think of words like 'faith', 'forgiveness', 'salvation', 'sin' and 'heaven'. But how can we be sure that we understand them correctly? Over the centuries all sorts of different meanings have grown up around these words, and sometimes those meanings can obscure or distort the way the words were originally used in the Bible. In Speaking Christian, Marcus Borg takes some of the key words in the Christian dictionary and exposes the negative and unhelpful connotations they still carry today. At the same time, he goes back to the Bible and unpacks their meaning in a way that is both more faithful to the teaching of Jesus and more relevant to his followers today.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Weight: 346gGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
