AB "Religious language is all around us, embedded in advertising, politics and news media. This book introduces readers to the field of theolinguistics, the study of religious language. Investigating the ways in which people talk to and about God, about the sacred and about religion itself, it outlines the key methods required for examining religious language and considers why people make certain linguistic choices. Complete with discussion questions and comprehensive lists of further readings, this is the ideal introduction to the study of religious language"--
