| Summary: | This essay seeks to demonstrate the power of speech in changing given situations, in solving problems in the course of deep human crises, and thus creating new realities in human lives. The intention is therefore to focus on the act of human argumentation and verbal performance as the key to sound leadership. The question addressed in this essay is how, in terms of the biblical world view, certain biblical figures, created in God's image (possessing therefore the faculty of speech as the means of doing) utter their speeches and therefore create realities; in other words, how speech creates ""new realities"". Is it the word by itself that does this, or the word in its best form of wisdom, persuasion and power? |
