Abstract
- "The Fruit of Our Lips: The Transformation of the Word of God into the Speech of Mankind" by Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy is a collection of essays and letters that challenges traditional sociological and linguistic theories. The book explores the author's unique perspectives on sociology, speech, and revolutions, which have remained largely unread due to their deviation from mainstream trends. It also delves into the influence of Rosenstock-Huessy on philosopher Franz Rosenzweig and his exploration of faith in history. Overall, the work emphasizes the importance of speech in shaping our identities, societies, and the world we live in. Additionally, Rosenstock-Huessy's "The Fruit of Our Lips" explores the origins and significance of Christianity, arguing that it emerged to transform stagnant social formations of antiquity. The author highlights the importance of the Gospels and challenges common interpretations of biblical criticism. The book also discusses the concept of freedom in Christianity, emphasizing the need for action and the opening of new pathways of time. Ultimately, it offers a unique perspective on the transformative power of Christianity and its relevance in contemporary society. [Extracted from the article]
