So, I have a comment and a question (neither of which draw from the points you are making): Firstly, to your point about the word "drag." The point ("context determines meaning") is good, but a better example - or different a usage of "drag" - should have been used to make the point. The verb, in English, means (across the different usages) to "pull against resistance." Whether one is using the word to describe moving a box across a floor or drawing smoke from a cancer stick, dragging is pulling against resistance. So, sometimes the meaning is fixed and the usage is different. Secondly, a question: I got it that dunamis can't be used to describe the Gospel as "dynamite" in the sense of TNT. I agree that the illustration fails miserably. What I want to know is whether you think that a using Dy-no-mite a la JJ Walker is viable?
