Are You a Rhetorician?
Lewis was a rhetorician. He consciously spoke in the vernacular. You can write a whole book on metaphors in mere Christianity. Sarah would often use slang terms from her own time. She got letters from thousands of people who listened to her BBC radio plays about Jesus. But that created an image in people's minds as you were talking about Jim. The trouble is with slang terms, as we all know, they don't last. And once again, there's that I'm so sorry I used term 'mugwumps' by mistake.
