in Christianity, some key words that are also important in human experience, generally, are redefined and become so overburdened with ponderous, contrived, and dissonant meanings that they are “put out of commission entirely as vehicles for articulate thought or communication.” He examines the distortions of the words life, death, truth, wisdom, righteousness, justice, liberty, bondage, love, hate, will, grace, witness, and word. For example, Cohen points out that wisdom is used so as to exclude any basis except divine commandment.
