| According to the Hebrew Bible, God made the world with words. God just spoke and the world became reality. (The Aramaic for I create as I speak is avara k davara, or in magician s language, abracadabra.) . . . This does not protect words from the numbing effects of overuse in any religious tradition. . . . We need to dust off the words, shake away the accretions, wonder again about what they originally might have meant and enable ourselves to live in the word. from the Introduction |
