How do people of faith use language to position themselves, and
their beliefs and practices, in the contemporary world? This
pioneering and original study looks closely at how Christians and
Muslims talk to people inside and outside of their own communities
about what they think are the right things to believe and do. From
debates, to podcasts and YouTube videos, the book covers a range of
engaging texts and contexts, showing how doctrine and beliefs are
not nearly as fixed and static as we might think, and that people
are prone to change what they say they believe, depending on who
they are talking to. From abortion, to hell, to whether it's okay
to sell alcohol, Pihlaja investigates how Christians and Muslims
struggle with different elements of their own faith, and try to
make decisions about what to do when there are so many different
voices to believe.
