Description

Noting that the language of words is unique to humans, Eugene Peterson offers theological observations about human language. He argues that Christians are called to a deep reverence for the language of words and to excel in words of communion over words of communication. Using the examples of author James Joyce and poet Jeremiah, Peterson presents ideas of what it does and does not look like to revere language as a Christ follower.
