        A chance to BE!!!  WOW!!!  If I had the chance to be a book I think
I would
        be Friedrich Schleiermacher's "The Christian Faith".  ;-)

        Just kidding.

        How much do they want for it?  Beware of etymological dictionaries-
they can
        be a bit misleading simply because the root meaning of a word is not
        necessarily the way a word is used in a text.  Meaning is assigned
by
        context, not etymology.


        Best,

        Jim
