Book Description
Words are the foundation of all communication―the foundation upon which we build our understanding of the world around us … of nature, philosophy, faith, and of ourselves. But where do those words come from? Using humor and insight paired with in-depth etymological knowledge, the author explores the origins of over two hundred words commonly found within the sphere of religion and spirituality. Created to give voice to reflection and emotion, such words are like windows we can look through to see the meaning and wonder of our lives. As such, the more we know about how they evolved, the more we can appreciate the experiences and wisdom of those who created them and recognize how such words continue to evolve in use and meaning. This provocative book will help you rethink the words you use to speak about spirituality and faith. This book will give you a new appreciation for their origins and power.

May She Have a Word with You?
Author: S T Kimbrough
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532648057
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
Perhaps Charles Wesley’s two volumes of Funeral Hymns (1746 and 1759), plus a few poems left in manuscript form, are the least known of his poetical corpus. They are a treasury, however, of his views on the importance of women in eighteenth-century England as examples of how to live the Christian life. Entries in his MS Journal indicate an extremely positive relationship with women who are his coequals in mission and in the Methodist societies, and much of the work depended on them. Furthermore, Charles wrote numerous poems about women, often occasioned by death, which lift up individual women as models for the community at large and the church. The intent of this volume is not to present a historical survey of these women or their historical place per se in the early Methodist movement, rather the primary goal is to discover a literature that helps us to see the values which women had in the early Methodist movement and how those values were acknowledged, recorded, and fostered or encouraged by Charles Wesley, particularly in his poetry. The title, May She Have a Word with You, suggests there is a need today to hear of these women’s exemplary words, deeds, and lives as a whole.
