Synopsis

Have you ever wondered, “Why should I bother learning another language?” Or, more importantly, “Why should I as a Christian?” This book seeks to answer those questions by looking at what the Bible says about language, beginning with God’s use of language, setting that as the foundation for our use of language and, consequently, our rationale for learning a second language. I hope this book inspires you in your language studies as well as provides you with a stable, reformed understanding of the principles underlying those studies.Most importantly, though, let’s remember the One to whom this book’s title is dedicated: “In the beginning was the Word.” Read this book, ponder the ideas presented within if the fancy strikes you, and, should awe be inspired, direct that awe to our AWESOME God, who with His Word created all things!
