Early Christian Rhetoric: The Language of the Gospel (Amos Wilder Library)

Description: An illuminating New Testament study depicts the power and beauty of language that speaks with the words of God and man. Words call man to battle or summon him to prayer. More and more today man is analyzing his language and asking: What is the purpose of language? What do the words we speak mean? What is their religious significance? Dr. Wilders extraordinary work attempts to answer these questions and in particular to study the qualities of the language that ushered in a new religion the early Christian faith.
