Abstract

How do you imagine language as a problem in ritual expression?

Dr. Catherine Bell discusses the struggles of religion to use a language that speaks to all believers. Words can be understood beyond literal expression; she suggests the Roman Catholic change from Latin to English is a good example of how such a change can affect ritual.
