Product Description

Struggling with her return to the Christian church after many years away, Kathleen Norris found it was the language of Christianity that most distanced her from her faith. Words like "judgment," "faith," "dogma," "salvation," "sinner," - even "Christ" - formed what she called her "scary vocabulary," words that had become so codified or abstract that their meanings were all but impenetrable. Norris blends history, theology, storytelling, etmology, and memoir to reflect on their meanings. She evokes a rich spirituality rooted firmly in the chaos of everyday life - and offers believers and doubters alike an illuminating perspective on how we can embrace ancient traditions and find faith in the contemporary world.
