A fascinating comparative account of sacred languages and their
role in and beyond religion written for a broad, interdisciplinary
audience Sacred languages have been used for foundational texts,
liturgy, and ritual for millennia, and many have remained virtually
unchanged through the centuries. While the vital relationship
between language and religion has been long acknowledged, new
research and thinking across an array of disciplines including
religious studies, sociolinguistics, sociology, linguistics, and
even neurolinguistics has resulted in a renewed interest in the
area. This fascinating and informative book draws on Christian,
Islamic, Hindu, Judaic, and Buddhist traditions to provide a
concise and accessible introduction to the phenomenon of sacred
languages. The book takes a strongly comparative, wide-ranging
approach to exploring ways in which ancient religious languages,
such as Latin, Pali, Church Slavonic, and Hebrew continue to shape
the beliefs and practices of religious communities around the
world. Informed by both comparative religion and sociolinguistics,
it traces the histories of sacred languages, the myths and
doctrines that explain their origin and value, the various ways
they are used, the sectarian debates that shadow them, and the
technological innovations that propel them forward in the
twenty-first century. * A comprehensive but succinct account of the
role and importance of language within religion * Takes an
interdisciplinary approach which will appeal to students and
scholars across an array of disciplines, including religious
studies, sociology of religion, sociolinguistics, and linguistics *
Provides a strongly comparative exploration, drawing on Christian,
Islamic, Hindu, Judaic, and Buddhist traditions * Uses numerous
examples and ties historic debates with contemporary situations *

a must-read for students of religion and language, scripture,
religious literacy, education and language, the sociology of
religion, sociolinguistics. It will also have strong appeal among

Joni's visit to the healing pool of Bethesda to seek healing where
Jesus healed.As Joni relates aspects of her own journey in dealing
with the most painful "unanswered prayer" of her life, readers will
learn to see beyond potential quick fixes to the deepest and
greatest solutions God has for them. As the journey continues,
readers deal with topics such as contentment, patience, unanswered
prayer, transformation through suffering, wrestling with God, and
hoping in God.

together, stay together.

Watching someone you love self-destruct hurts. Praying for Your
Addicted Loved One: 90 in 90 provides ninety devotions of strength,
hope, and encouragement to families coping with addiction.
Realizing you're not alone in your struggles brings comfort and
confidence to face day-to-day challenges. The overall message of
Praying for Your Addicted Loved One conveys hope to families caught
in the cycles of addiction. The various stages of the disease:
abuse, recovery, and relapse, take their toll on families.
Hopelessness grabs a family's heart and wrings it out with each
slip of clean or sober time. The verses in Jeremiah 30 and 31, the
foundation of the book, offer promises of restoration and
redemption. 90 in 90 reflects the 12 Step model of attending 90
meetings in 90 days. While your loved one attends meetings, you
will read a daily devotional to lend spiritual support. "Today I
pray for other lost addicts to find the hope of recovery. I pray
the families reading this book will continue to have hope that an
addict-any addict-can stop using drugs and find a new way to live.
If there is one thing I can say to family members it is, never quit
fighting. There is always hope. With hope, I, a once hopeless dope
addict, am now a dope-less hope addict." Josh Cosby
Arranged by thirteen themes, this gift-book contains 133 poems,
prayers, songs, invocations and salutations that span the centuries
and draw from many traditions.

In this play, Dorothy L. Sayers addressed the crimes and problems
of human life, especially those of the victors in war, in an
entirely novel way, by precipitating an airman in the very moment
of his death back into the company of citizens of the "City," in
this case, Lichfield. The citizens range from Adam and Eve (Adam
himself the inventor of the axe which kills Abel) together with
other biblical characters in the history of redemption brought to
new life as members of the City (e.g., Judas is a common informer).
Others bear burdens of shame, toil, fear, poverty, and ingratitude.
Former inhabitants (e.g., George Fox, Dr. Johnson) help the airman
see that no more than they can he shift the burden of guilt and
grief that they all share. There is but one remedy, to join the
"Persona Dei" carrying his cross, finding indeed that he bears
their burdens for them. The "Persona Dei" is finally seen in
resurrection and glory.
First full-length study of the role and duties of the medieval
cantor. Cantors made unparalleled contributions to the way time was
understood and history was remembered in the medieval Latin West.
The men and women who held this office in cathedrals and
monasteries were responsible for calculating the date of Easter and
the feasts dependent on it, for formulating liturgical celebrations
season by season, managing the library and preparing manuscripts
and other sources necessary to sustain the liturgical framework of
time, andpromoting the cults of saints. Crucially, their duties
also often included committing the past to writing, from simple
annals and chronicles to fuller histories, necrologies, and
cartularies, thereby ensuring that towns, churches, families, and
individuals could be commemorated for generations to come. This
volume seeks to address the fundamental question of how the range
of cantors' activities can help us to understand the many different
ways in which the past was written and, in the liturgy, celebrated
across the Middle Ages. Its essays are studies of constructions,
both of the building blocks of time and of the people who made and
performed them, in acts of ritual remembrance and in written
records; cantors, as this book makes clear, shaped the communal
experience of the past in the Middle Ages. KATIE ANN-MARIE BUGYIS
