Title: Liturgies & Trials: The Secularization of Religious Language.
Description: Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1982. 0631135960. "This highly original book examines the fate of religious utterances within the institutions of a secular society. Religious language claims to be able to remake the world. Within the context of liturgy the words of the prophets have the power to define and transform individual lives. In courts of law however, religious utterances are often tried but found wanting in authority or credibility." Pp.xxxiv/215. Paperback, sunning to spine. G+.
