Have you ever read Donald Grey Barnhouse? He has a interesting section somewhere in his “Romans” books about how “spiritual” words are misused. His Romans set is four big books, no idea where to find that section :-( but I remember it got me to thinking about how words that once had religious/theological overtones have degenerated into slang : Adorable, awful, terrible, and so forth.

No, I haven't ... but I think I have the gist of the concept ... I'll note his name.

Thanks
