Section 17 Revised 30:40.170
Thanks

[Complete] Critique of Dogmatic Theology by Leo Tolstoy - lt
Vocabulary inquiry:
beginning from nearly the first (page 340), Tolstoy/the translator uses the term:
".... (b) It is given to us for nothing, on account of the deserts of Jesus Christ, ..."
"deserts" doesn't seem to make sense, but PERHAPS "desserts"? as in the unexpected (unearned?) sweetness of Christ ? I did a bit of digging/internet searching, and cannot find any even archaic usage of "desert" that would make sense.
Thank you for any insights on this!

Surely it would be deserts as in “that which is deserved”? Or “just deserts”... not the sandy place or the apple pieOwlivia wrote: ↑July 24th, 2020, 10:12 pm Vocabulary inquiry:

oh my gosh, it seems so obvious when you pointed it out!Lynnet wrote: ↑July 25th, 2020, 7:45 amSurely it would be deserts as in “that which is deserved”? Or “just deserts”... not the sandy place or the apple pieOwlivia wrote: ↑July 24th, 2020, 10:12 pm Vocabulary inquiry:

Thank you!
Thinking about it, I don't know if I've ever seen it used outside of the expression: "Just deserts." (As opposed to "unjust deserts"?)

Cheers,

There are a few things to do before you get started.
You will need to complete a one minute test - this is to check your specs are up to Librivox standards, and if not, you'll be given hints on how to remedy that. http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/1-Minute_Test
Please post your test in the Listeners Wanted forum (see the dropdown at the bottom of the page) for the speediest response. Waiting for the OK may seem tedious, but can save time in the long run.
You will also need to be added to the catalog of readers. I will add you using your forum name, but if you prefer your real name or a pseudonym let me know. We can also link to a personal blog or website. Be sure to read the first post - all the info you need is there, but if anything doesn't make sense, just ask. The wiki (see the top of the page) has bundles of info too.
