Illustr, 9.25 x 6, blue cloth, covers a bit worn and dust soiled, minor soil to edges of text block else a nice, clean, fresh copy of this facsimile reprint of the Hodder and Stoughton: London 1904 edition.

Condizione: Used. In the year 1904, when the world was awash with the echoes of horse-drawn carriages and the muffled clinks of tea cups, two Chosen Ones?Charles HH Wright and Charles Neil?decided that the world needed a Protestant Dictionary. Presumably, they imagined a world where ?Protestant? was a common crossword answer, rather than just a mere designation of faith. This hefty tome, published by the illustrious Hodder & Stoughton, is equal parts erudite and eccentric, much like a Victorian gentleman trying to dance at a soirée after too many sherries. What lies within the pages of this scholarly endeavour? Are the definitions of ?Protestant? and its many facets laid out as if they were etchings in a cathedral window? Or do we find an elaborate game of linguistic cat and mouse, where one term leads to another, much like a theological version of connect-the-dots? You may very well find phrases that make you scratch your head, wondering how they ever became part of your average Sunday sermon?or if they were simply invented to confuse future generations. Wright and Neil?s work might just have been an attempt to arm the Protestant populace with the kind of vocabulary that could elevate the Sunday service to high art. Imagine a vicar confidently tossing around terms like ?eschatology? and ?soteriology? while the congregation silently wonders if he?s just described a delightful new dessert. This dictionary is likely rife with words that may never have been uttered outside the cloistered walls of a seminary, leaving you to ponder whether you?ve stumbled upon a theological feast or a rather dry buffet. What can you expect when you crack open this treasure trove of Protestant parlance? Prepare for a smorgasbord of definitions that might include: A bewildering array of ecclesiastical jargon Footnotes that could serve as a distraction at a cricket match Historical references that may require a secondary degree to fully comprehend Illustrations that are less than helpful but exceedingly charming Quotations that could make even the most stoic of readers raise an eyebrow As you leaf through these pages, you might begin to wonder if Wright and Neil were secretly aiming for a comedy of errors, carefully crafting a volume that could both inform and bemuse. Perhaps their mission was to produce a text that would leave even the most devout scratching their heads, wondering why anyone would need to know how to spell ?Predestination? three different ways and whether such knowledge could lead to a reduction in pew occupancy. Condition: Surprisingly used, considering its age. This book has been lovingly thumbed through, with creases that tell tales of long-forgotten debates and theological discussions. The cover shows signs of wear, which is only fitting for a text that has likely seen its fair share of Sunday School classrooms and church basements. Expect the occasional coffee stain?a remnant of someone?s fervent note-taking during a particularly riveting sermon. Despite its battle scars, it remains a steadfast companion for anyone looking to delve into the audacious world of Protestantism?s lexicon. In a world where many would consider a dictionary to be a mere utility, ?A Protestant Dictionary? dares to elevate it to a literary art form, where the definitions become narratives, and the footnotes read like footraces. If you?ve ever wanted to confuse friends during a casual dinner by casually dropping bombastic religious terminology into the conversation, this is your handbook. Dust off your best waistcoat, prepare your finest cup of Earl Grey, and make your way to Crappy Old Books, where this delightful curiosity is waiting for you. Who knows? You might just leave with more questions than answers, which, if nothing else, is certainly a Protestant hallmark of faith.
