Download or read book Holy Grammar written by Elise Bishop and published by Elm Hill. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A workbook like no other, Holy Grammar teaches basic grammar skills using examples and exercises only from Scripture. Students apply sentence combining techniques to over 200 Bible verses to improve the complexity, correctness, and variety of sentences in their own writing. Designed for use in a composition class, Holy Grammar was written by a secondary and college composition and grammar instructor with over 35 years of experience in the classroom. In a challenging way that relies more on intrinsic knowledge of language than memorization of rules, the exercises provide students with the practice they need to produce (and correctly punctuate) a variety of sentence types. The teaching tips included demonstrate flexible methods for teachers who want to incorporate the lessons into their classes. With the Bible itself serving as the answer key, students have the ability to check their own work. A grammar review section examines parts of speech, clauses and phrases, and basic sentence types and patterns. The skills presented in this workbook lay the foundation for more advanced grammar study.
Download or read book A Grammar of Holy Mystery written by Larry Hart and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-03-10 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Grammar of Holy Mystery is about Christian spirituality. It is about mysticism as a firsthand encounter with the presence of God—unfathomable, unnamable, mysterious, fulfilling. It is about classical Christianity, the way of transforming truth found in Christ, taught in Scripture, lived by saints, sages, and mystics, and passed on as a sacred trust through the centuries. Being neither liberal nor conservative, but simply Christian, it is ecumenical in spirit. For those traumatized by harsh or shallow churches, A Grammar of Holy Mystery points the way out and shows the way to a faith that renews the mind, restores the spirit, and gladdens the heart.

Download or read book Sacred Grammar written by James Wilson Beaty and published by Xlibris. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who but Jim Beaty would have thought to juxtapose grammar and sacred? The grammar part is down and dirty . . . verbs, nouns, adjectives, and all the rest of that. The sacred part is the Bible and its capacity for good grammar as a means of announcing the good news. Thanks be to God for this book from a passionate teacher who knows the revelatory power of a well-wrought utterance. -- Walter Brueggemann, PhD, Columbia Theological Seminary Sacred Grammar presents a unique system of learning to master sentence structure by first acquainting the struggling writer with the necessary tools for understanding Biblical writing. All of the principles of correct usage are presented in Biblical texts, whose translators are mindful of subtle choices. This fascinating process convinces the new writer that careful, conscious selection of structure and meaning create clear, interesting writing. Dr. James Beaty illustrates the significance of syntax and word choice in select verses while also deconstructing the sentences themselves. No book is more widely, seriously studied or widely translated than the Bible, and now, a writing and grammar text that engages the student in a painless, even pleasant reading and writing experience dramatizes the importance of the right word, and appropriate subordination. This book is fun and fascinating to read. The fearful novice will not only learn.

Download or read book The Poetics of Grammar and the Metaphysics of Sound and Sign written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-08-30 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the seemingly universal notion of a grammatical cosmos. Individual essays discuss how many of the great civilizations provide cognitive maps that emerge from a metaphysical linguistics in which sounds, syllables and other signs form the constructive elements of reality. The essays address cross-cultural issues such as: Why does grammar serve as a template in these cultures? How are such templates culturally contoured? To what end are they applied — i.e., what can one do with grammar — , and how does it work upon the world? The book is divided into three sections that deal with the metaphysics of linguistic creation; practices of encoding and decoding as a means of deciphering reality; and language in the widest sense as a medium for self- and cultural transformation. Contributors include: Jan Assman, Sara Sviri, Michael Stone, M. Finkelberg, Yigal Bronner, Martin Kern, Brouria Bitton-Ashkelony, Dan Martin, Jonathan Garb, Tom Hunter, David Shulman, and Sergio La Porta.

Download or read book A Grammar of Christian Faith written by Joe R. Jones and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2002-06-03 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Grammar of Christian Faith is a two-volume set that aims to confront the widespread disarray in the language and practices of Christian faith today. As a 'grammar,' it explains how Christian faith provides special ways of speaking and acting that make sense of human life by giving it meaning, practicality, and hope. It advances the thesis that learning how to speak Christian language in worship and life is crucial to learning how to be a Christian. Rather than supposing that Christian language and theology need continual updating in order to be relevant to the world, Jones urges the church to recover anew how Christian concepts and understanding are intended to form Christian life in all its rich depths. Construing theology as confessional theology in the context of the church, Jones understands the church as that liberative and redemptive community called into being by the Gospel of Jesus Christ to witness in word and deed the triune God for the benefit of the world. The full range of doctrinal themes that are deemed essential to the witness of the church are explored, including clear explanations of why they are essential and how they are to be understood. In pursuit of a truthful and beneficial witness of the church, the work centers on a trinitarian understanding of God, in which God freely and lovingly interacts with the world as Creator, Reconciler, and Redeemer. The work throughout affirms the belief that the gracious triune God is the Ultimate Companion who will redeem all creation.
