Publisher's Synopsis
""The Influence of Christianity on the Language of Modern Europe"" is a collection of essays written by William Jennings Rees, which won the prestigious Hulsean Prize in 1855. The book explores the impact of Christianity on the development of European languages, tracing the evolution of language from the medieval period to the modern era. Rees examines the role of Christianity in shaping language through its influence on literature, philosophy, and theology, and argues that the Christian faith has played a fundamental role in the development of European culture. The essays cover a range of topics, including the influence of the Bible on language, the role of Christian writers in shaping the literary canon, and the impact of religious debates on language usage. Written in a clear and accessible style, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of European culture and language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
