The Art of Technical Writing 2.0

Religious texts are based on the cultures of the times they were written in. They are user manuals in a way but the style used in them is very different from any user manual of today. In fact it is closer to poetry, where at times there could be multiple meanings that could be derived from them. A user manual is definitely unacceptable if it has more than one meaning.

It would be interesting to know, if it’s the language evolution that has made these texts seem abstract or were they meant to be written in a manner, which would be acceptable over many years. After all poetry does have a longer life than a technical manual. I would be analyzing a few religious texts on this blog in the future using the tag Religion & Technical Writing.
