In this wonderful book, well-known linguist Anna Wierzbicka draws mainly on sixty-five words common to all languages to describe what Christians believe. The result overcomes the distortions arising from vernacular renditions to present Christianity in a universally accessible and startlingly refreshing light. Reading it is delightful and profoundly perspective-altering.
Anna Wierzbicka is Professor Emerita at Australian National University, Canberra. Her work spans several disciplines, including linguistics, anthropology and religious studies.
