Full description

This chapter focuses on the visible forms of words that can stir emotional and even sacred responses in the eyes of their beholders. Thus words can be said to function iconically, affecting a mutually engaging form of “religious seeing.” The way words appear to their readers will change the reader’s interaction, devotion, and interpretation.
