Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience the Dark Side of the English Language &break;&break;What sensitivities are you secretly offending when you use the words poppycock, bonfire, and porcelain? What political incorrectness are you courting when you describe someone or something as ethnic? Who have you insulted, what sensitivity have you jostled, what breach of propriety have you committed when you use such remarkably innocent words as butterfly, gymnasium, and fizzle? &break;&break;Unfortunate English uncovers older meanings of words that are out of joint with almost everyone's sense of propriety - word histories that reveal the deintensification of the disgusting, the generalization of the ribald, the mutation of the offensive, and occasionally the sensationalizing of the innocent. &break;&break;So open the book and start having fun ... or maybe you shouldn't, considering that fun originally meant ... well, something different.

Download or read book Unfortunate Words of the Bible written by G. P. Wagenfuhr and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do unicorns, law, love, and hell all have in common? They are all unfortunate words of the Bible. Through mistranslation, cultural shifts, anachronisms, and misguided intentions, this book traces several key words whose meaning is commonly misunderstood in our world today. If the blatant mistranslation of unicorns could survive in the Bible for thousands of years, securing their place in our cultural imagination to this day, what would happen if important words, like salvation, were misunderstood? How might our cultural imaginations hide the meaning of the Bible rather than revealing it? By tearing down misunderstandings, Wagenfuhr builds up a broad overview of the story of the Bible that illustrates a more mature and more exciting vision for Christian faith(fulness) than is commonly assumed.
