Description
Those who want to avoid simplistic partisan rhetoric and use words in a challenging, spirited way need practical strategies. This audiobook offers a range of them. Drawing upon the work of exemplary contemporary writers, Speaking Peace in a Climate of Conflict shows how to speak and write clearly and generously.
For example, we can attend more carefully to the effects of metaphors, recognize and avoid glib euphemisms, define terms in ways that retrieve core meanings and revitalize them, and enrich our sense of history by deft use of allusion.
Contemporary listeners are awash in many words that have been cheapened and profaned. But with deliberate use of intelligence and grace, we can redeem their “sacramentality”. Humanely uttered words can become a life-giving means of clarity and compassion.
Speaking Peace in a Climate of Conflict is an homage to the outstanding wordsmiths who have achieved that potential and an invitation to follow them in making well-chosen words instruments of peace.
