We all know how seemingly simple, ordinary words can illuminate-or obscure-what we're thinking, how we're feeling, what we mean. In God's Dictionary, Susan Corso returns words to their roots to uncover the soul of their meanings. Drawing upon the world's sacred wisdom traditions, Corso shows readers how a deeper understanding of the words they so often take for granted can powerfully benefit their lives. Adore, imagine, gentle, obey-she plumbs the etymologies of these important, everyday words to reveal their deeper, hidden meanings. Herein lie the sacred definitions that Webster's simply cannot supply. Beautifully designed and profoundly inspiring, God's Dictionaryis a blessing for users of the English language.

Theological dictionaries are foundational to any theological library. But until now there has been no Global Dictionary of Theology, a theological dictionary that presumes the contribution of the Western tradition but moves beyond it to embrace and explore a full range of global expressions of theology. The Global Dictionary of Theology is inspired by the shift of the center of Christianity from the West to the Global South. But it also reflects the increase in two-way traffic between these two sectors as well as the global awareness that has permeated popular culture to an unprecedented degree. The editorial perspective of the Global Dictionary of Theology is an ecumenical evangelicalism that is receptive to discovering new facets of truth through listening and conversation on a global scale. Thus a distinctive feature of the Global Dictionary of Theology is its conversational approach. Contributors have been called on to write in the spirit of engaging in a larger theological conversation in which alternative views are expected and invited. William A. Dyrness, Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen, Juan F. Martinez and Simon Chan edit approximately 250 articles written by over 100 contributors representing the global spectrum of theological perspectives. Pastors, theological teachers, theological students and lay Christian leaders will all find the Global Dictionary of Theology to be a resource that unfolds new dimensions and reveals new panoramas of theological perspective and inquiry. Here is a new launching point for doing theology in today's global context.
