"Apparently Donald Williams has been channeling his inner Ambrose Bierce and G.K. Chesterton, because The Devil's Dictionary of the Christian Faith is a delicious and quirky blend of characteristics most writers simply can't succeed in putting together: It's piously irreverent, stylishly traditional, affectionately combative, respectfully cheeky, and humorously serious. It's a delightful little volume full of common sense, sly humor, and sound theology—all in the service of beauty, truth, and goodness."
--Michael Baumann, professor of theology and culture, Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, Michigan, and author of Pilgrim Theology
Contrition (n.): The public display that follows getting caught.
Miter (n.): Ecclesiastical headgear worn by Bishops to hide their pointy hair. See Dilbert.
Saint 1 (n., biblical): Any true believer in Christ; 2 (n., Roman Catholic); a spiritual superstar; 3 (n., popular): any personage from current times or church history of whom the speaker approves.
A morphing of Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary with The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, this book takes a satirical look at itself and it's traditions and behaviors from a different perspective.
A perfect gift for those that enjoy religious tongue-in-cheek humor!
