Description

Anna Wierzbicka, a renowned linguist, applies her groundbreaking semantic theory of universal human concepts to unlock fresh interpretations of Jesus' most profound teachings. This scholarly yet accessible work examines the Sermon on the Mount and Jesus' parables through a lens of concepts that transcend languages and cultures, making ancient spiritual wisdom comprehensible to modern readers. By grounding her analysis in language science and engaging with established biblical commentary, Wierzbicka reveals strikingly novel meanings within these foundational Gospel texts. Published by Oxford University Press, this interdisciplinary study bridges academic rigour with clarity, offering both theologians and general readers a compelling new approach to understanding Jesus' central messages and their relevance to human experience.
