Abstract:

How do people of faith use language to position themselves, and their
beliefs and practices, in the contemporary world? This pioneering and
original study looks closely at how Christians and Muslims talk to
people inside and outside of their own communities about what they
think are the right things to believe and do. From debates, to
podcasts and YouTube videos, the book covers a range of engaging texts
and contexts, showing how doctrine and beliefs are not nearly as fixed
and static as we might think, and that people are prone to change what
they say they believe, depending on who they are talking to. From
abortion, to hell, to whether it's okay to sell alcohol, Pihlaja
investigates how Christians and Muslims struggle with different
elements of their own faith, and try to make decisions about what to
do when there are so many different voices to believe.
