Description for Testimony: Talking Ourselves into Being Christian
Paperback. In this groundbreaking book, Tom Long, an expert in preaching one of the central uses of language for Christians examines the power and danger of the way language shapes experience, practice, and communal life. The author challenges the narrow understanding of Christian testimony as something that only preachers and evangelists do. Series: Practices of Faith Series. Num Pages: 208 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: HR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 156 x 228 x 12. Weight in Grams: 304.
In this groundbreaking book, Thomas G. Long—a theologian and respected authority on preaching—explores how Christians talk when they are not in church. Testimony breaks the stained-glass image of religious language to show how ordinary talking in our everyday lives— talk across the backyard fence, talk with our kids, talk about politics and the events of the day—can be sacred speech. In a world of spin, slick marketing, mindless chatter, and easy deceptions, Testimony shows that the hunger for truthful, meaningful, and compassionate speech is ultimately grounded in truth about God.
