Product Description
This newly revised guide has been updated and expanded to give you all the vocabulary you need to communicate effectively in any religious setting.
OVERVIEW
A Comprehensive Guide for All Faiths
Since the fourth century, when Spanish monks first started signing to communicate during their vows of silence, sign language has been used in religious communities of all faiths. Like any living language, American Sign Language (ASL) continues to grow and change to meet the communication needs of an ever more diverse religious population. This newly revised guide has been updated and expanded to give you all the vocabulary you need to communicate effectively in any religious setting.
With an essential section of religious "name signs " the addition of signs for the Muslim faith, and an expanded selection of favorite verses, prayers and blessings, this book is an indispensable resource for signers of all denominations. Written by Dr. Elaine Costello, Ph.D. an educator and author associated with the field of deafness for more than 30 years, it makes communicating by ASL in a religious setting simple and easy, no matter what your level of experience.

There were a lot of useful signs but quite honestly I found more current and diverse signs on YouTube. However, it is a good resource to have in one's sign language library!

Doesn't have all of the signs that I need for faith formation classes. Have had to go to the internet to search for the missing ones.
