David Brown, "God and Mystery in Words: Experience through Metaphor and Drama"
Oxford University Press (2008) | English | ISBN 0199231834 | 302 pages
In God and Mystery in Words David Brown uses the way in which poetry and drama have in the past opened people to the possibility of religious experience as a launch pad for advocating less wooden approaches to Christian worship today. So far from encouraging imagination and exploration, hymns and sermons now more commonly merely consolidate belief. Again, contemporary liturgy in both its music and its ceremonial fails to take seriously either current dramatic theory or the sociology of ritual. Yet this was not always so. Poetry and drama, Brown suggests, grew out of religion, and therefore that creative potential needs to be rediscovered by religion.
This Rabia Pocket Dictionary is the latest one in the market. Though there is no dearth of dictionaries in the market yet there is always room at the top. Keeping it in view, this dictionary is up-to-date and reliable. For translation, it covers the everyday vocabulary of all kinds of students as well as the vocabulary of their extraordinarily varied contemporary environment. This Dictionary is also a general work for ordinary reader as well. It contains translation of words in all the main subjects he is likely to meet in conversation, in books, in broadcasts and telecasts, and in motion pictures. All the new words have been included which have arisen lately. The dictionary gives particular attention to new words and phrases which we come across in our daily life and new meanings that have come into use as a result of present progress. An important feature of this dictionary is the large number of words which has been included. All these words are more necessary today then ever before, since less reading is done by many of the literate than in former times when leisure occupations were fewer and less varied.
This practical workbook introduces beginners to the study of words, focusing specifically on English words. Clearly written and organized, it is a perfect guide for self study.
The answer to this all depends on—you guessed it—grammar. In the third part of his extraordinary Way with Words series, Professor Drout continues to explore humanity’s intimate association with language, here delving into the finer points of English grammar.
Since others judge you by the way you speak, the intricacies of grammar, in fact, should not be relegated to the realm of fussy “guardians of the language,” but are rather essential clues all can employ to communicate more exactly. In such a light, this course forms an invaluable guide for everyone from all fields of interest.
