Conceptual Metaphors in Poetic Texts
Proceedings of the Metaphor Research Group of the European Association of Biblical Studies in Lincoln 2009
About this book
The Hebrew Bible discusses difficult and often ineffable subjects such as life, God, heaven and earth and frequently relies upon metaphor to do so. This volume of collected essays offers a new methodological approach to understanding metaphors as conceptualizing aspects of life. Articles provide close analysis of metaphors in various biblical books such as Psalms, Job, Judges, Chronicles, Isaiah, and Hosea.
