Book Description
Holy Mackerel! is a quiz book about the Christianity that surrounds us; in our people, our places, our music, our books, and our beliefs-past and present. It is a book that illustrates the vastness and endurance of the work of the Church in increasingly secular societies and, consequently, the profound impact that Christianity continues to have in the evolution of Western culture. Its questions and answers reach into every aspect of the work and mission of the church, and how its practice and theology continues to be reflected in the culture of the Western world.

Speaking of Animals
Author: Robert Palmatier
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313368384
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 497
Book Description
No other nonhuman source has served as the basis for more metaphors than animals. Speaking of Animals is a dictionary of animal metaphors that are current in American English. It is comprehensive, historical, and metaphor-based. Each entry refers to the other dictionaries that catalog that same metaphor, and the dates of first appearance in writing are supplied, where possible, for both the metaphor and the name of the source. The main text is organized alphabetically by metaphor rather than by animal or animal behavior; all the metaphors are classified according to their animal source in a list at the end of the book. An animal metaphor is a word, phrase, or sentence that expresses a resemblance or similarity between someone or something and a particular animal or animal class. True metaphors are single words, such as the noun tiger, the verb hog, and the adjective chicken. Phrasal metaphors combine true metaphors with other words, such as blind tiger, hog the road, and chicken colonel. Other animal metaphors take the form of similes, such as like rats leaving a sinking ship and prickly as a hedgehog. Still others take the form of proverbs, such as Don't count your chickens before they hatch and Let sleeping dogs lie. The horse is the animal most frequently referred to in metaphors, followed closely by the dog. The Bible is the most prolific literary source of animal metaphors, followed closely by Shakespeare.
