Blades of Eloquence The Power of Logos in the Duel of Words

  • By Caroline Hanna Guirgis
$19.29
Product Description

In Caroline Hanna Guirgis's compelling new work, she examines the profound influence of words on our lives. Beginning with the stark reality of how words can be wielded maliciously, Caroline shares her encounters with destructive language, emphasizing words' duality-capable of harm but equally potent as healing instruments. Delving into the Old English concept of "wyrd" (fate), she posits that our chosen language can direct our fate. Drawing connections between secular and sacred, Caroline underscores the shared truths in various cultural and religious discourses about words, ultimately directing readers toward the divine origins of language and its capacity to restore broken spirits. While touching upon the tangible impacts of our daily language, she also differentiates between uttered and silent words, stressing the inherent power of both. Caroline's intimate reflections on her journey with words culminate in exploring the liturgical language's depth and the Christian faith's concept of the Logos-the Word. Emphasizing a shared responsibility in communication, she underscores the divine's role in shaping our narratives. She closes with a reflective call to action: to wield our words with wisdom and compassion, recognizing their profound effect on the world around us.
