DESCRIPTION

Holy Vocabulary: Rescuing the Language of Faith by Michael Kelly is a thought-provoking Bible study written for young adults and deals with the idea of keeping the true meaning of Christian vocabulary from becoming trite.

It examines words like saved, grace, sin, and repent, and because we've used them so often we've lost some of their actual meaning. Because Christianity has developed its own subculture over time, this subculture has its own music, customs, even buildings, not to mention a vocabulary of holy words that we, as members of the subculture, use to talk about Christianity and are synonymous with the Christian experience.
